Breathing is one of the characteristics of living things and possessing the needs of the same beings as the other. Insects are one type of living thing that also respirators.
All types of insects need oxygen to maintain metabolism and sustain life. Insects use the same metabolic cycle with other animals (glycolysis, crew cycle and electron transfer system) and the whole process is regulated in mitochondria.
Insects are one of the cold-blooded, actively moving animals. Insect metabolism changes food or nutrients such as sugar into chemical energy ATP. At the end of the metabolism process, oxygen binds to hydrogen and produces water and energy.
As with the respiratory system in humans, the insect-breathing system also serves to transfer oxygen throughout the body and emit carbon dioxide as the rest of the respiration from the body.
Nevertheless, insects do not breathe through the mouth and lungs and are different from the breathing apparatus in humans. But unlike the respiratory system in mammals or other animals, oxygen in insects is also not circulated through red blood cells.
Unlike the function of red blood cells in other animals, insect blood only serves to pass food on insects and does not carry oxygen or carbon dioxide.
