This takes place in two stages: the first stage, which does not require oxygen, is a form of anaerobic respiration; the second stage is the main energy-producing stage and does require oxygen.
Where a set of muscles is required to work extra hard, such as leg muscles in running, energy production has to be increased to match the demand.

The cytochrome respiration pathway is typical to all living organisms.
Although many articles claim that no certain function of the alternative respiration pathway was determined, many functions are related to it.
If we compare the alternative respiration pathway to the cytochrome respiration pathway, we can grasp the alternative pathway as a bypass.

 Belowground respiration
Soil respiration increases exponentially with increasing temperature, and this relationship is usually described with exponential and Arrhenius equations (Lloyd and Taylor, 1994).
Despite this, the relationship between soil respiration and moisture is usually scattered, and our understanding of this relationship the mechanisms underlying the relationship is still limited, compared to that of respiration/temperature relationship.
This is partly due to the fact that most of the studies on this relationship are field studies based on observations of seasonal and spatial variations of soil respiration.

 Respiration
Respiration is the process by which our bodies take in and use oxygen.
At the end of the smallest bronchioles, there are tiny, grape-like air sacs called "alveoli." It is in the alveoli that oxygen comes into contact with the red blood cells that will carry it to all parts of the body.
It also supplies oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide from our bodies.

Respiration R, however, is just energy lost from the organism as heat; although it may be expressed in material equivalents of energy such as oxygen or carbon (-> conversion factors).
Hence, all activities of an organism, from a single biochemical reaction to complex processes such as muscle contraction are accompanied by a certain amount of energy loss via respiration.
I.e., respiration is that part of assimilated energy A that is converted into heat, directly or via mechanical work.
