The correct answer is: Bio–oxidation
Respiration uses oxygen and completely oxidizes organic food mainly carbohydrates (Sugars) to carbon dioxide and water. It, therefore, releases the entire energy available in glucose.

It is divided into two phases: Glycolysis and aerobic oxidation of pyruvic acid. Because it takes place in living beings (biological matter) it is called a bio-oxidation process.
