Respiration is the process that releases energy from food. Why is this done?
In mammals - to maintain a constant body temperature
To allow molecules to diffuse through membranes
To enable muscles to contract
To build larger molecules from smaller ones
In plants - to build up sugars, nitrates and other nutrients into amino acids
