== == All of the energy from the glucose would be released at once, and most of it would be lost in the form of light and/or heat.
Considering that cellular respiration takes place in humans, which are a "higher" form of animals, you can assume that cellular respiration can also take place in all other animals. Without cellular respiration, the animals would have no form of cellular energy, ATP, and would start to die off.
if cellular respiration does not take place, even a normal human would die... athletes are human too... no?

No, cellular respiration does not occur in ribosomes. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis within the cell, while cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria to generate ATP energy for the cell.

Mitochondria carry out cellular respiration in plants, where glucose is broken down to produce energy for the cell in the form of ATP. This process involves the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain within the mitochondria.
Because the main fuel of cellular respiration, glucose, ultimately is produced by plants that preform photosynthesis. Even carnivorous heterotrophs, metabolizing protein and lipids, must depend on herbivores eating the plants directly.
Cellular respiration occurs in three main steps. The first step takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. The last two steps take place in the mitochondria(or if cellular respiration is taking place inside of a plant then the last two steps would take place in the chloroplasts) of the cell. Specifically, the second step occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria and the last step occurs along the inner membrane of the mitochondria, or the cristae.
