Respiration is the process by which organisms burn food to produce energy. The starting material of cellular respiration is the sugar glucose, which has energy stored in its chemical bonds. You can think of glucose as a kind of cellular piece of coal: chock-full of energy, but useless when you want to power a stereo. Just as burning coal produces heat and energy in the form of electricity, the chemical processes of respiration convert the energy in glucose into usable form.
well, simply put it this way. by cellular respiration fermentation and photosynthesis are dying in a hole. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Cellular respiration is a catabolic pathway because a complex molecule is being broken down.
Complex organisms need cells that perform many different functions. Complex organisms are capable of a lot of different things, and that variety needs to be supported on the cellular level. Without them, complex organisms cannot perform different functions.
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the opposites of each other. Photosynthesis takes in energy (from the sun's light) and stores that energy in complex sugars. Cellular respiration breaks down these complex sugars and turns the stored energy into the usable form of energy, ATP.
6C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 34ATP The equation shown above is the chemical equation of aerobic cellular respiration. It takes in a complex sugar, glucose, and breaks it down in order to harvest its stored up energy.

It is the complex that partakes in cellular respiration
Oxygen, in complex IV.

A process known as cellular respiration. Much too complex to discuss here.
