Key Points
- All living organisms respire to get energy from food.
- The process of breakdown of food in the cell with the release of energy is called cellular respiration.

- Tracheal tubes help insects to transport atmospheric air within the body.
- Oxygenated air rushes through spiracles into the tracheal tubes, diffuses into the body tissue, and reaches the body cell.
- Carbon dioxide from the cells moves to the tracheal tubes and moves out through spiracles.

- Amphibians like frogs can respire through their moist skin.
