Detailed Solution

Respiration is the process in which food (mainly glucose) is broken down in cells to release energy for body activities. Every cell in the body needs energy to perform tasks. Respiration provides this energy by breaking food in the presence (or absence) of oxygen.

Types of Respiration:

Type	Description	By-product
Aerobic	Occurs in presence of oxygen	Carbon dioxide + water + energy
Anaerobic	Occurs in absence of oxygen	Alcohol or lactic acid + energy

Respiration Equation (Aerobic):

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Importance of Respiration:

Releases energy needed by cells
Maintains body functions
