Respiration

Respiration is a term used in both biology and biochemistry:

Cellular respiration, the process in which the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes, represented in chemical nomenclature as "C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ [[->]] 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy released/ATP"
"Respiratory" redirects to this page; in most contexts, this term refers to the respiratory system in man and other mammals, while in other cases, one of the alterative terms above will be more appropriate
