Introduction 

Respiration is a process by which living organisms convert organic matter, such as glucose, into energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). It is a series of chemical reactions that take place in the cells of living organisms, including plants and animals, and can occur both aerobically (in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobically (without oxygen).
