Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
Concept- Respiration is a biological phenomenon. A burning process of food in the body to produce energy is termed respiration In the respiration process, oxidation of glucose takes place which produces a large amount of heat energy which is stored in the form of ATP so it is an exothermic reaction.
Exothermic processes produce heat or energy release. The air is warmer when you or I exhale. This is a result of our body's response to breathing. Food-borne carbohydrate breakdown produces glucose. In the cells of our body, this glucose interacts with oxygen to produce energy. Respiration is the term for this response. As a result, breathing is thought of as an exothermic reaction. So, the statement is true
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
