The chemical process for respiration
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.
Explanation:
Hello!
Let's solve this!
Breathing occurs in mitochondria. It's called cellular respiration and the formula is
6O2 + C6H12O6 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
This formula indicates that when oxygen enters, it combines with the glucose molecule to form carbon dioxide that is expelled, water and ATP which is energy.
