What is the difference between

To determine: The differences between cellular and external respiration.
Introduction: Breathing describes the intake of oxygen into the body and expulsion of carbon dioxide out of the body. External respiration consists of two stages: breathing, and gas exchange.
Explanation of Solution
The following are the differences between cellular and external respiration:
No. | Characteristics | Cellular respiration | External respiration |
1. | Location | Cellular respiration occurs only in cells of the body. | External respiration occurs between cells and the atmosphere. |
2. | Gas exchange | Cellular respiration does not involve the gas exchange. | External respiration involves the gas exchange. |
3. | Oxygen movement | In cellular respiration, oxygen diffuses out from blood into the body tissue. | In, external respiration, oxygen diffuses from alveolar air into the blood. |
Cellular and external respiration can be differentiated based on location, gas exchange, and oxygen movement.

Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas.
