You probably mean the chemical equation for plant respiration.

There are two kinds of respiration, so there are two different equations.

1) Aerobic respiration is respiration which uses oxygen:

glucose + oxygen = water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY

C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6H2O + 6CO2 + ENERGY

Aerobic respiration is the same in animals and plants.

2) Anaerobic respiration is respiration without using oxygen. This is different in plants and animals.

In plants:

glucose = carbon dioxide + ethanol (alcohol) + ENERGY

C6H12O6 = 2CO2 + 2C2H5OH + ENERGY

In animals:

glucose = lactic acid + ENERGY

C6H12O6 = 2C3H6O3 + ENERGY
