What is the main function of cellular respiration?

Answer 1

The general purpose of cellular respiration is to exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen inside the cells of the body.

It is the process by wich cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds.

In simpler terms its purpose is to extract useable energy from glucose.

Answer 2

The main function of cellular respiration is to convert glucose and oxygen into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and releases carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Answer 3

Respiration provides an organism with energy. There are two general ways to do this, aerobic or anaerobic. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, which is why animals need to breathe. Animals also carry out anaerobic respiration which is much less efficient because less energy is extracted from nutritional sources than when oxygen is available.

The term "cellular" here distinguishes it from breathing, which is called "anatomic" respiration. That is, breathing is the physical process of delivering oxygen to cells, where the REAL work of extracting energy begins.

By the way, cells store most of the energy in temporary, but convenient, chemical storage units known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules.

Answer 4

The main function of cellular respiration is to break down molecules and generate ATP.

Answer 5

Break down molecules such as glucose to produce energy in form of ATP.

Answer 6

generate atp, which traps some of the chemical energy of food molecules in its high-energy bonds

Answer 7

That is to generate energy. Energy is needed to maintain life

Answer 8

It is needed for energy generation. It produce ATP in organisms

Answer 9

cellular resperaition uses energy

Answer 10

to generate ATP
