RESPIRES Meaning and
Definition
-
"Respires" is the third person singular form of the verb "respire." To respire means to breathe or to exchange gases with the environment. It refers to the process by which living organisms, particularly animals, take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide as a result of a metabolic process called cellular respiration.
In general terms, respiration involves the intake of oxygen from the atmosphere or surrounding environment, which then enters the body through specialized respiratory organs or structures such as lungs, gills, or spiracles. Once inside the organism, the oxygen is transported to the cells, where it combines with glucose to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a series of chemical reactions.
Simultaneously, during respiration, carbon dioxide, which is a waste product of cellular metabolism, is released into the environment. This carbon dioxide is carried away from the cells back to the respiratory organs, where it is expelled or exhaled.
Respiration is essential for the survival of living organisms as it provides them with the energy required for various physiological processes. It enables the body to function properly by ensuring a constant supply of oxygen for the tissues and removing carbon dioxide, which can be toxic if accumulated.
In summary, the verb "respires" describes the action of breathing, taking in oxygen, and releasing carbon dioxide as part of the process of respiration.
