Cellular respiration is the process in which the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes. Oxidation of organic material—in a bonfire, for example—is an exothermic reaction that releases a large amount of energy rather quickly. The equation for the oxidation of glucose is:\n\n            C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy released (2830 kJ mol−1)\n\nIn a fire there is a massive uncontrolled release of energy as light and heat. Cellular respiration is the same process but it occurs in gradual steps that result in the conversion of the energy stored in glucose to usable chemical energy in the form of ATP.\n\nIf you have a biology textbook look up Kreb's cycle or the Citric Acid cycle to better understand the types of cellular respiration.  Diagrams will really help.

haha the answer above me is funny...what what exactly do you want to know about it? theres a lot to do with respiration...theres inspiration where the air is taken in..this is caused by a contraction of the diaphragm..thens there structures like the epiglotis, trachea, pharynx...then the oxygen goes to your lungs..where gas exchange occurs in the alveoli's...this is done by some complicated process that i dont understand really..i didnt really pay attention during this part of physiology/biology class. haha. anyway, the oxygen is picked up by the pulmonary artery and goes to the rest of the body through the aorta...uhh, i can think of anything else..hope this helps!

Respiration is performed using tracheae, air-filled tubes which open at the surfaces of the thorax and abdomen through pairs of spiracles. The spiracle valves only open to allow oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. The tracheoles, found at the end of the tracheal tubes, are insinuated between cells and carry oxygen throughout the body. \n\nI hope this helps.

Breathing, the process whereby an organism (living thing) obtains oxygen from its surroundings, to take part in internal chemical reactions which break down food to release energy. Breathing also usually gives out waste carbon dioxide as an unwanted by-product of these reactions. Breathing is one aspect of respiration, which is a term that includes both physically obtaining oxygen, and also using it in chemical pathways inside cells to release energy—the process of cellular respiration\n\nMany aquatic animals obtain oxygen dissolved in the water by muscle-powered movements, such as when the forward motion of a fish or the pumping actions of its mouth and throat force a flow of water over its gills ( See also Fish). This is underwater breathing. Tiny organisms “breathe” by the process of passive seepage or diffusion of oxygen through their body surfaces. Plants also obtain oxygen by diffusion from the air or water around them, usually into the leaves.

The main mechanism of energy production in the body is through the formation and oxidation of adenosine triphosphate, ATP.  Cells convert carbohydrates (which we eat) into ATP, and then oxidize the molecules later to access the energy in their chemical bonds.

when we take in the food during the process of respiration the glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid CH3COC0OH BY THE process of glycolysis , initially by taking oxygen by cytoplasm . when it gets more oxygen the pyruvic acid enters mitochondria and is converted to CO2 AND H20 . This cycle is called KREB's cyle . the synthesis of ATP molecule takes place in the F1 particle of mitochondria . \nthe equaton is \nC6H12O6+O2---->CH3C0COOH + O2--->CO2 + H20 \nthis process is called aerobic trespiration \nrespiration involves oxidation of food ....\nthus kreb cycle is aerobic respiration and increase in oxygen increases it !!!!!\nPLEASE VOTE IT AS THE BEST ANSWER IF YOU LIKE IT ..PLEASE......\nI THINK I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR MANY QUERIES

Simply put:\n\n6CO2 + 6H2O -{photosyhnthesis}-> C6H12O6 (glucose) -{Respiration-> 6CO2 + 6H2O\n\nPhotosynthesis takes energy from sunlight; respiration gives energy to the organism.

glycolysis the step just before cellular respiration

Air enters the lungs and the alveoli will exchange the gases to have the respiration complete.

Oxygen is made as a result of photosynthesis only.\n\nGlucose is also made as a result of photosynthesis.\n(Or due to the breakdown of fats, or complex sugars.)\n\nCarbon Dioxide is produced as a result of cellular respiration.\n\nThe source of energy released from glucose is the bond energy between the carbons in the molecule and the reductive properties of the electrons in the bond.\n\nCellular respiration occurs is parts.\n\nGlycolysis occurs in the cell cytoplasm (cytosol).  The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.\nThe electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation occurs at the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

* The process begins with the oxidation of pyruvate, producing one CO2, and one acetyl-CoA.\n    * Acetyl-CoA reacts with the four carbon carboxylic acid, oxaloacetate--to form the six carbon carboxylic acid, citrate.\n    * Through a series of reactions citrate is converted back to oxaloacetate. This cycle produces 2 CO2 and consumes 3 NAD+, producing 3NADH and 3H+.\n    * It consumes 3 H2O and consumes one FAD, producing one FADH+.\n    * 1st turn end= 1 ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2\n    * Since there are two molecules of Pyruvic acid to deal with, the cycle turns once more.\n    * The complete end result= 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2

1. respiration is for animals, and phtosynthesis is for vegetals, bacteria and algae.\n\n2. We (animals) use respiration because our cells need a process called gas exchange ( we take Oxygen from the air and exchange it in our cells for carbon dioxide)\n\n3. This is possible for us because our cells have organs called mitocondria, while vegetal cells have chloroplasts.\n\n4.Photosynthesis is an important biochemical process in which plants, algae, and some bacteria harness the energy of sunlight to produce food. Ultimately, nearly all living things depend on energy produced from photosynthesis for their nourishment, making it vital to life on Earth. It is also responsible for producing the oxygen that makes up a large portion of the Earth's atmosphere. Organisms that produce energy through photosynthesis are called photoautotrophs. Half of all photosynthesis comes not from plants, but from bacteria and algae.\n\nResìration involves the use of developed organs such as lungs.\n\n5. Photosynthesis produces energy from sun light, while\nrespiration produces energy from the Oxygen present in pur atmospheric air.

Cell Respiration is the process by which the chemical energy of "food" molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved.

Oxygen enters through the mouth and nose (nasopharynx) and moves down into the trachea and into the lungs. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide are exchanged in the lungs at the Alveoli. Oxygen enters into the blood stream and Carbon Dioxide leaves the blood stream to be expelled by the exhalation of the lungs. The Oxygenated blood travels from the lungs to the heart, the heart then pumps the Oxygen rich blood into the arteries which take that blood away from the heart and circulate it through the rest of the body. Veins Then come back to the heart carrying oxygen-depleted blood where they are pumped through the heart to the lungs where they get more Oxygen and once again travel back to the heart to be pumped back to the rest of the body. That completes the circuit.

You can learn a lot about breathing from the article about it on Wikipedia.  The link is listed in the Source section.\n\nHere's part of the entry:\n\n"Breathing is only part of the process of delivering oxygen to where it is needed in the body. Breathing in, or inhaling, is usually an active movement, with the contraction of chest and diaphragm muscles needed. At rest, breathing out, or exhaling, is normally a passive process powered by the elastic recoil of the chest, similar to a deflating balloon. The process of gas exchange occurs in the alveoli by passive diffusion of gasses between the alveolar gas and the blood passing by in the lung capillaries. Once in the blood, the heart powers the flow dissolved gasses around the body in the circulation."\n\nSo the muscles in the chest and the diaphragm that brings the air in, while exhaling is just the lungs deflating.
