Answer:
Explanation:
Respiration is the chemical process by which organic compounds release energy. The compounds change into different ones by exergonic reactions.
There are two types of respiration:
• aerobic, which requires oxygen and releases lots of energy
• anaerobic, which does not require oxygen but releases much less energy per mole of starting materials.

In respiration, glucose and oxygen is required to form ATP.
The unbalanced eq looks like this:
C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O + ATP
On balancing you get:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
H2O (in form of vapour) and CO2 are then exhaled.
