Best Answer

The body releases energy by respiring (respiration) Respiration is the chemical reaction of which your body makes energy from the food in our cells in our body

There are two types of respiration;

Aerobic Respiration - This type releases energy from food

The equation for this is - Glucose + Oxygen -----> Carbon Dioxide + Water + ENERGY

Anaerobic respiration - also releases energy from food, But this produces Lactic acid and energy instead

The equation for this is - Glucose --------> Lactic Acid + Energy
