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.
The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, most of which are redox reactions themselves. Although technically, cellular respiration is a combustion reaction, it clearly does not resemble one when it occurs in a living cell due to slow release of energy from the series of reactions.ithout oxygen, pyruvate (pyruvic acid) is not metabolized by cellular respiration but undergoes a process of fermentation. The pyruvate is not transported into the mitochondrion, but remains in the cytoplasm, where it is converted to waste products that may be removed from the cell.
