Explanation

• Respiration is the chemical process in which energy is released from food.
• Cells break down glucose to release energy for various life activities.
• Aerobic respiration uses oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.
• The released energy is stored mainly in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Additional information:

• Nutrition: Taking in and using food.
• Digestion: Breaking down food into simpler substances.
