In the respiration equation, the energy act as a "product" because the energy is generated from the oxidation of the stored molecule which is glucose.

Explanation:

During photosynthesis the energy act as a reactant to generate sugar molecules but during respiration the produced sugar molecule is used to produce energy through oxidative phosphorylation. Hence, during the respiration energy acts as a product rather than a reactant because the product of respiration is ATP molecule which is a high energy product of respiration.

Why is respiration a vital process

IRISSAK [1]

Respiration is a vital process for both plants and animal because through this process, oxygen is inhaled. ... Plants and animals need continuous supply of energy to perform the vital functions necessary for their survival. So, respiration is a continuous process which make an organism able to meet its energy demand.
