Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration produces ATP. ATP is used for releasing energy. However, not all the energy in ATP is going to be able to be used for cellular activities.
We all need energy to function and we get this energy from the foods we eat. The most efficient way for cells to harvest energy stored in food is through cellular respiration, a catabolic pathway for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP, a high energy molecule, is expended by working cells. Cellular respiration occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. It has three main stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transport.
NADH,FADH,ATP are produced.Finally all are used to generate ATP.
energy molecules that breaks down into energy when needed by the body
I think you are referring to the mitochondria. They release energy stored in food.
All cells use chemical energy. Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds between atoms of every molecule.
As with all molecules, the chemical energy is stored in the covalent bonds between each atom in the molecule.
Synthesizes ATP, the energy molecule used to do all cellular work, out of the food you eat and the plant makes.
