Cellular respiration is what cells do to break up sugars into a form that the cell can use as energy. This happens in all forms of life. Cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create ATP, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. Regular cellular respiration is aerobic (requires oxygen), but some simple organisms can only do anaerobic cellular respiration.

The simplified formula for aerobic cellular respiration isC6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (as ATP)

The word equation for this is:Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (as ATP)

What is respiritation?

Cellular respiration is the process of breaking food molecules such as glucose to carbon dioxide and water. The energy that is released is trapped in the form of ATP for the cell to later use.


What is the process of cellular respiritation?

Cellular respiration is a biochemical process in which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. It occurs in three main stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain). Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvate, which then enters the mitochondria for the Krebs cycle, producing electron carriers that fuel the electron transport chain, ultimately generating ATP, the cell's energy currency. This process is essential for producing the energy necessary for various cellular functions.
