Respiration is when oxygen combines with sugar to break down the sugar.
respiration
Cells release energy through a process called cellular respiration. This process involves breaking down glucose molecules to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.
Cellular respiration isn't the same thing as regular human respiration (most of us use the words "breathing" and "respiration" interchangeably, even though biologists use the term "respiration" to mean something a little different). Cellular respiration is when living cells convert fuel - either oxygen or sunlight- into energy that they can use. For example, cellular respiration in humans is the process by which oxygen used to power the synthesis of ATP (ATP is a high-energy molecule that our cells depend on to survive). Plants use a similar process to convert the energy of the sun into building blocks they can use.
This is when anaerobic respiration takes place. It is respiration without using oxygen. However, when anaerobic respiration takes place, lactic acid is produced and accumulates until the muscles cannot work any more. This is why anaerobic respiration can not happen for very long. After anaerobic respiration, the person usually has to breathe heavily in order to break down the lactic acid and to 'pay back the oxygen debt'.
they have Eukaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic cells (Plant cells and animal cells)
This type of respiration is called internal respiration. In internal respiration, oxygen diffuses from the bloodstream into the cells of tissues, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the cells into the bloodstream.
All cells obtain energy from cellular respiration. Some undergo anaerobic respiration and some undergo aerobic respiration.

Most eukaryotic cells have mitochondria.

Either sex cells or body cells. Sex cells perform mieosis, and body cels perform mitosis.
They are found in both type of cells. Mitochondria are essential for cellular respiration

Of or pertaining to respiration; serving for respiration; as, the respiratory organs; respiratory nerves; the respiratory function; respiratory changes.
The type of energy always released from living cells during respiration is chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This energy is produced through the process of converting glucose into usable energy by the cells.
