Glycolysis:
A cell can harvest energy from food by cellular respiration. Both start with the same first step: the process of glycolysis which is the breakdown or splitting of glucose (6 carbons) into two 3-carbon molecules called pyruvic acid. The energy from other sugars, such as fructose, is also harvested using this process. Glycolysis is probably the oldest known way of producing ATP. There is evidence that the process of glycolysis predates the existence of O2 in the Earth's atmosphere and organelles in cells:
* Glycolysis does not need oxygen as part of any of its chemical reactions. It serves as a first step in a variety of both aerobic and anaerobic energy-harvesting reactions.
* Glycolysis happens in the cytoplasm of cells, not in some specialized organelle.
* Glycolysis is the one metabolic pathway found in all living organisms.

yes
most of the energy is produced in mitochondria.
Energy produced in photosynthesis is put into a usable form through cellular respiration.
ATP
The energy molecule produced by cellular respiration and used in metabolic reactions is called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is synthesized during cellular respiration and serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing the energy needed for various cellular processes and metabolic reactions.

Cellular Respiration, which takes place in the mitochondria.
Carbon dioxide is produced during the process of cellular respiration During cellular respiration energy is released in the form of ATP. Oxygen is reduced to form water and Carbon of glucose combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. Thus, carbon dioxide, water and energy are produced during cellular respiration.

No, that is Photosynthesis. Cellular respiration is when organisms obtain energy from organic molecules and energy is released and carbon dioxide produced.
