Respiration is

(1) Breaking of a type of bonds like ionic or non ionic of complex compounds through oxidation within the cell by utilizing bulk of energy

(2) Breaking of C-C bonds of simple molecules through hydrolysis within the cell by releasing energy

(3) Breaking of C-C bonds of complex molecules through oxidation within the cell to release considerable amount of energy

(4) Breaking of C-C bonds of complex molecules through hydrolysis within the cell by releasing energy
