Does cellular respiration cause most organic molecules?

I wouldn't say that. The main purpose of respiration, that in biochemistry is known as "oxidative phosphorylation" is to produce ATP molecules. A complete chain of an oxidative phosphorylation pathway goes from a molecule of glucose that is degraded into smaller molecules, passing through tricarboxylic acid cycle and a redox loop mechanism (in mitochondria) to produce molecules of water and CO2.

No. Cellular respiration is a set of biochemical reaction occurs in the cell to produce Energy. It requires the nutrients (food we eat)+Oxygen to make Energy currency (ATP) and CO2 as a by-product
