Respiration is the chemical process by which organisms exchange of gases and breakdown of complex food substancesto release energy. The compounds change into different ones byexergonicreactions.

There are two types of respiration:

aerobic, which requires oxygen and releases lots of energyanaerobic, which does not require oxygen but releases much less energy per mole of starting material

Aerobic respiration may be represented by the general equation

C6H12O6+ 6O26CO2+ 6H2O

Anaerobic respiration in humans may be summarised by the word equation:

glucoselactic acid + energy

In yeast anaerobic respiration may be summarised by:

glucoseethanol + carbon dioxide + energy
