Depends what you mean by respiration? But generally both of these things can occur simultaneously in the body.
For cellular respiration, glucose (or other sugars)either complex or simple ingested into your body are broken down by your digestive system where there are absorbed by the villi in your gastrointestinal tract, once absorbed into the cytosol, the glucose molecule is broken down into two pyruvate molecules, these molecules are then transferred using a bridging reaction into the mitochondria, after this occurs oxidative phosphorylation acts and yields 34 ATP's per molecule of glucose.
Hope that answered your question!:)

What is the difference between digestion of heterotrophs and saprotrophs?
Heterotrophs- digestion occurs inside the body. Saprotrophs- digestion occurs outside of body.
What best describes where cellular respiration?
Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria of body cells. Anaerobic respiration (glcolysis) occurs in the intracellular cytosol.
The reaction site of the first and second steps of aerobic respiration is called?
The reaction site of the first and second steps of aerobic respiration is called the matrix. Aerobic respiration occurs inside a Golgi body.
What isMade available to the body through digestion and respiration?
I only know digestion sorry: Energy :) good luck
What are the body processes?
Some examples of body processes include digestion, respiration, circulation, excretion, and metabolism. These processes are necessary for the functioning and survival of the body. They involve various organs, tissues, and cells working together to maintain homeostasis and carry out essential functions.
Saliva pre-digestion through ezymes in saliva is chemical change?
The first chemical change that happens in the body in regards to digestion, the breakdown of foodstuffs, occurs in the stomach. The saliva breakdown would be a physical change.
Best describes where cellular respiration occurs?
In every body cell -apex
Cellular respiration occurs in the organelle?
Mitochondria.Site of aerobic respiration is mitochondria+cytoplasm. Anaerobic respiration takes place only in cytoplasm
What important functions do muscles have in the human body?
Movement, support, protection, heat, circulation, digestion and help with respiration.
What is the site of anaerobic respiration?
In fast twitch muscles.Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
Does anaerobic respiration only occur in bacteria?
No, anaerobic respiration occurs in the cells of your body. glucose = lactic acid + oxygen (sugar)
Which phrase best describes cellular respiration a process that occurs continuously in the cells of organisms?
4. changing of stored chemical energy in food molecules to a form usable by organisms
