Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells, including plant cells and animal cells. It is the way that energy is released from glucose so that all the other chemical processes needed for life can happen.Do not confuse respiration with breathing (which is properly called ventilation).   Aerobic respiration is the process of breaking down glucose using oxygen. The cells use glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy. Anaerobic Respiration is the process of breaking down glucose without using oxygen. It produces a by-product of energy, carbon dioxide and lactic acid.

EXPLAIN THIS DEFINITION 

 

Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells, including plant cells and

animal cells. It is the way that energy is released from glucose so that all the other

chemical processes needed for life can happen.Do not confuse respiration with breathing

(which is properly called ventilation).

 

Aerobic respiration is the process of breaking down glucose using oxygen. The cells use

glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy. Anaerobic Respiration is

the process of breaking down glucose without using oxygen. It produces a by-product of

energy, carbon dioxide and lactic acid.
