Respiration is a catabolic reaction - it breaks down a complex molecule (glucose) and forms simpler molecules (carbon dioxide and water).

Respiration is neither a dehydration synthesis nor a hydrolysis because dehydration synthesis means formation of a molecule by removal of water molecule from two reactants . On the other hand hydrolysis involves addition of water molecule after breakage of water , nothing of these two happens in respiration .
