Respiration can refer to:
Cellular respiration, which is the use of oxygen in the metabolism of organic molecules.
Physiological respiration, which exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the external environment.

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, ...
respiration
noun

In respiration, glucose is oxidized (releasing energy) and oxygen is reduced to form water.
The carbon atoms of the sugar molecule are released as carbon dioxide (CO2).
Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell.
respiration 1) breathing as part of gas exchange; or 2) cellular metabolism.
respiratory surface A thin, moist, epithelial surface that oxygen can cross to move into the body and carbon dioxide can cross to move out of the body.
respiration
[L. respirare, to breathe]
(1) In aerobic organisms, the intake of oxygen and the liberation of carbon dioxide. (2) In cells, the oxygen-requiring stage in the breakdown and release of energy from fuel molecules.

respiration. The process by which nutrients are metabolized to provide energy needed for cellular activity.
rhizome. A horizontal, underground shoot, especially one that forms roots at the nodes to produce new plants.

Respiration An ATP-generating process in which an inorganic compound, such as O2, serves as the ultimate electron acceptor; the electron donor can be either an organic compound or an inorganic one.
Respiration. Consumption of oxygen in the process of aerobic metabolism

This process is called aerobic respiration and is the reason animals breathe oxygen.
PROBLEMS WITH RESPIRATION
What can go wrong with your respiratory system? So many things can go wrong with this system. It is very vulnerable to both toxins and diseases.
are produced by glycolysis, a total of 36 ATP molecules is produced when glucose undergoes complete oxidation via the Citric Acid Cycle/Krebs Cycle and is ultimately broken down completely to CO2 and H2O in the mitochondria.

Nitric oxide (NO) and its derivative, peroxynitrite (ONOO‾), inhibit mitochondrial respiration, and this inhibition may contribute to both the physiological and cytotoxic actions of NO.

The purple bacteria evolved oxygen respiration by reversing the flow of molecules through their carbon fixing pathways and modifying their electron transport chains. Purple bacteria also enabled the eukaryotic lineage to become aerobic.
The process by which ATP is made from glucose is called cellular respiration. Respiration also produces waste products including carbon dioxide and water, which are the same substances that served as raw materials for photosynthesis.
These bacteria use sulfate as an electron acceptor instead of oxygen, in a form of metabolism known as anaerobic respiration. Hydrogen sulfide is generated in the process.

In plant cells, peroxisomes play a variety of roles including converting fatty acids to sugar and assisting chloroplasts in photorespiration. In animal cells, peroxisomes protect the cell from its own production of toxic hydrogen peroxide.
