Best Answer

Breathing is an exothermic reaction.

To explain clearly, during digestion food particles break down into smaller particles.

These turn into glucose, this glucose combines with the oxygen present in the cell and provides energy. The special name of this reaction is respiration.

It releases heat so it is an exothermic reaction.
