respiration is considered as an exothermic reaction because in respiration oxidation of glucose takes place and large amount of heat is produced.
C6H1206+ 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ENERGY

Ex - means Out or Exit
Therm - Related to Heat
Exothermic is that process in which lots of heat radiate out during chemical reaction...
Any chemical reaction in which heat is evolved is a exothermic process...Respiration is also a type of chemical reaction in which energy
Which is nothing just a heat, and CO2 is being released when Glucose in our body gets Oxidized i.e, Glucose reacts with Oxygen to form Or release Heat and Co2...
Hence the respiration is called Exothermic Process...
