Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

Breathing occurs in mitochondria. It's called cellular respiration and the formula is

6O2 + C6H12O6 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

This formula indicates that when oxygen enters, it combines with the glucose molecule to form carbon dioxide that is expelled, water and ATP which is energy.
