Respiration is essential for living organisms as it is the process through which cells generate energy by converting glucose and oxygen into ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell. It also helps in releasing carbon dioxide, a waste product, from the body.

When yeast undergoes anaerobic respiration, it gives off Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Ethanol. The Ethanol is used in alcohol production, bread making, gasohol etc.
The products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water. Both are important and have uses. However, I wonder if you are thinking of the energy which is released. As energy is not a substance, I wouldn't technically call it a product, but it is certainly important and useful.
Respiration depends on plants because they produce oxygen during photosynthesis, which is essential for the process of respiration in animals and humans. Animals and humans rely on plants to provide the oxygen they need to breathe and carry out cellular respiration, which releases energy from food. Plants play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of gases in the atmosphere that sustains life on Earth.
The useful product of glycolysis for the cell is ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell. Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule, along with 2 molecules of pyruvate that can be further used in cellular respiration to generate more ATP.
Cellular respiration need oxygen. This oxygen is supplied by external respiration
