Respiration, isn't that Breathing?
Respiration is when glucose is broken down into basic compounds through a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction takes place in the mitochondrion, and requires two things, glucose and oxygen. The reaction breaks down the two substances, and creates ATP. Also, water and carbon dioxide are created as a waste product. This is why we require bathrooms, and breath out carbon dioxide.
C6H12O6+O2=ATP, H2O, Co2
