(Almost) All Cells Respire

• Scientists disagreed as to where the conversion of O2 to CO2 took place.

Was it the lungs or was it the blood?

• This was a false dichotomy. The conversion occurred in both places, as well as in (almost) every other part of the organism, as Lazzaro Spallanzani (1803) showed when he isolated various tissues and demonstrated that all tissues were capable of consuming O2 and

giving off CO2.

Many biologists still did not believe Many biologists still did not believe that respiration occurred outside that respiration occurred outside the blood. Eduard Pflüger (1872) the blood.
