Respiration is the biological process by which cells break down organic food molecules (typically glucose) to release energy for cellular work. In its complete, aerobic form (requiring oxygen), the overall (summary) chemical equation is:
C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen) -> 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) + Energy
