Detailed explanation-1: -The common life processes in plants and animals include-respiration, growth, nutrition, transportation, reproduction and excretion. These are carried out by all the plants and animals, digestion being an exception.

Detailed explanation-2: -Respiration is essential for survival of living organisms. It releases energy from the food. The oxygen we inhale is used to breakdown glucose into carbon dioxide and water. Energy is released in the process.

Detailed explanation-3: -Life processes: These are the 7 processes all living things do-movement, reproduction, sensitivity, nutrition, excretion, respiration and growth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Respiration is the process that all living things go through to create the energy they need to live. This happens in the cells so it is also called cellular respiration. It usually involves exchanging two gases-oxygen and carbon dioxide. The cells take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -All living organisms respire. Cells need and use the energy that is formed through this process to assist with life processes in order for organisms to survive and reproduce. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are the main gases involved in aerobic respiration.
