Module 1 - Breathing vs Respiration Quiz

Explain the process of inhalation and exhalation in detail.

• Inhalation is the process of breathing out air, while exhalation is the process of breathing in air.

• Inhalation is the process of breathing in air, while exhalation is the process of breathing out air.

• Inhalation and exhalation are the same process.

• Inhalation is the process of holding your breath, while exhalation is the process of yawning.

What is the primary muscle responsible for the mechanism of breathing?

• biceps

• trapezius

• quadriceps

• diaphragm

Describe the role of diaphragm in the mechanism of breathing.

• It contracts and flattens during inhalation, creating a vacuum that pulls air into the lungs.

• It expands and contracts during exhalation, pushing air out of the lungs.

• It helps to regulate the temperature of the air entering the lungs.

• It has no role in the mechanism of breathing.

Differentiate between breathing and respiration.

• Breathing is the process of releasing carbon dioxide as a waste product, while respiration is the process of inhaling and exhaling air.

• Breathing and respiration are the same thing.

• Breathing is the process of inhaling and exhaling air, while respiration is the process of using oxygen to produce energy and releasing carbon dioxide as a waste product.

• Breathing is the process of using oxygen to produce energy, while respiration is the process of inhaling and exhaling air.

What are the main organs involved in the process of breathing?

• Lungs and diaphragm

• Kidneys and bladder

• Stomach and intestines

• Heart and liver

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

• Provides energy for cellular processes

• Provides structural support to the cell

• Causes cell division

• Regulates body temperature

Where does the exchange of gases occur during breathing?

• In the stomach

• In the alveoli of the lungs

• In the heart

• In the liver

What is the importance of oxygen in cellular respiration.

• Oxygen is not needed for cellular respiration

• Cellular respiration can occur without oxygen

• ATP production in cellular respiration does not require oxygen

• Oxygen is essential for the production of ATP in cellular respiration.

What is the name of the tube that connects the throat to the lungs?

• Esophagus

• Trachea

• Bronchi

• Tonsils

What is the function of the alveoli in the respiratory system?

• Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide

• Production of mucus

• Regulation of body temperature

• Storage of air
