Respiration is the process in which cells take up oxygen and prodce carbon dioxide.

The equation fo respiration looks like this:

Oxygen + Glucose -(energy) -> Carbon Dioxide + Water

O2 + C6H12O6 -(energy) -> CO2 + H2O

In the human body, we take in oxygen through breathing, or inhaling oxygen into our lungs and into the blood through the process of diffusion. This allows for respiration at the cells to take place.
