Answer / prasad
RESPIRATION:The respiratory system's function is to take
oxygen into the lungs and output carbon dioxide and a small
amount of oxygen.
DIGESTION:Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breaking
down of food into smaller components that can be absorbed
into a blood stream, for instance. Digestion is a form of
catabolism: a break-down of larger food molecules to
smaller ones.
