Respiration is a pure exothermic reaction because when we exhale there us carbon dioxide along with the residual oxygen and with certain amount of water vapour. No heat energy is provided during inhalation however the energy or heat liberated during oxidation of the food and other activities comes out as heat energy. Since there is heat energy released during respiration the reaction is called to be the exothermic reaction.
More generally, the terms exergonic and endergonic relate to the free energy change in any process, not just chemical reactions. An example of an exergonic reaction is cellular respiration. By contrast, the terms exothermic and endothermic relate to the overall exchange of heat during a process.
