Respiration - The process of biochemical decomposition of organic compounds like simple carbohydrates, glucose, in living cells with the release of energy.

- One mole of glucose on complete oxidation yields 38 molecules of ATP.
- It is a high energy molecule which serves as an immediate source of energy.
- It is a form of chemical energy which can be used for all processes in the cell.
- Therefore ATP is called the currency of the cell.
Metabolism Is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions within the cells of living organisms
Two Types of metabolic processes take place in living things
