Respiration is the biochemical process in which the cells of an organism obtain energy by combining oxygen and glucose, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water).
The word equation for respiration is: Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide and Water The chemical equation is C6H1206 + O2 = CO2 + H20 Respiration is used by all living humans and animals, to make energy for movement, heat and to keep vital organs running, without it we'd be dead.
