Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Respiration is a biological process in which oxidation of various food substances like carbohydrates, proteins and fats take place and as a result of this, energy is produced where `O_2` is taken and `CO_2` is liberated. The organic substances which are oxidised during respiration are called respiratory substrates.
