Respiration:

  1. Respiration is the process of release of energy by breaking down complex food molecules.
  2. In this process, glucose is broken down to form carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen and the energy that is released is stored in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).
  3. It can even take place in the absence of oxygen.
  4. Mitochondria is the site of respiration in plants and animals.

Final answer: The process of respiration takes place both in plants and animals.
