4. Respiration
   The oxidative breakdown and release of energy from fuel molecules by reaction with oxygen in aerobic cells.
   A series of chemical oxidation reactions within the cell controlled and catalysed by enzymes in which carbohydrate and fats are broken down, releasing energy to be used by the cell or organism in its various functions.

7. Respiration
   is the process where both plants and animals produce energy by burning carbohydrates in their cells using oxygen. Carbon dioxide is produced as a by-product. Plants are taken out of hospitals at night to stop the oxygen being depleted and the carbon dioxide building up

16. respiration
    Term used by physiologists to describe the process of breathing and by biochemists to describe the intracellular oxidation of substrates coupled with production of ATP and oxidized coenzymes (NAD+ and FAD). This form of respiration may be anaerobic as in glycolysis, or aerobic in the case of oxidations operating via the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the electron transport chain.
