17. 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.
