Process in which cells produce the energy they need to survive. In cellular respiration, cells use oxygen to break down the sugar glucose and store its energy in molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration is critical for the survival of most organisms because the energy in glucose cannot be used by cells until it is stored in ATP.
Cellular respiration describes the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in a cell or across the cell membrane to release biochemical energy from nutrients and then ...
