Although this reaction resembles the one for burning, the aerobic respiration process is different in several respects: 1) The energy is gradually given out, not all released in one go. 2) It is not a simple one-step process - there are dozens of separate reactions, each controlled by different enzymes inside the cells.

An analogy can be drawn between the process of cellular respiration in our cells and a car. The mitochondria are the engines of our cells where sugar is burned for fuel and the exhaust is CO2 and H2O. Note that in a car that burned fuel perfectly, the only exhaust should theoretically be CO2 and H2O also.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF BREATHING? ... This is how one of your vital signs is measured, called "respiration." ... During this process, the red blood cells turn from purple to a sparkling red color as they start carrying the oxygen to ALL the cells in your body.

Respiration is the overall process of controlled oxidation of metabolites for the production of useful energy by living organisms; it includes breathing. Respiring cells require a supply of oxygen (O2) and other nutrients.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things.

Soil respiration is one of the most important biochemical processes that are relevant to the decomposition of soil organic carbon and release of soil ... The interactive effect of organic manure and mineral NPK on soil respiration process was more significantly than that of other treatments.
