Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down food molecules to release energy in the form of ATP through a series of biochemical reactions. This process involves the conversion of glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.
Cellular respiration and the chemical reaction of burning food both involve breaking down molecules to release energy in the form of ATP. Both processes use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. However, cellular respiration is a controlled process that occurs within living cells, while burning food is an uncontrolled combustion reaction that releases energy rapidly.
Cells release the chemical energy from food through a process called cellular respiration. During this process, the food molecules are broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, which is the cell's main source of energy. This happens in the mitochondria of the cell.
The chemical process that converts food into energy is called cellular respiration. It occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves breaking down food molecules to produce ATP, the main energy currency of the cell.
Cellular respiration is the life process associated with oxygen and food as chemical energy. In cellular respiration, cells break down glucose (from food) in the presence of oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and is essential for cell function and survival.
The process of burning food with oxygen to release energy is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, cells break down glucose and other molecules in the presence of oxygen to generate ATP, the cell's main source of energy.

Cellular respiration and the chemical reaction of burning food both involve breaking down molecules to release energy in the form of ATP. Both processes use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. However, cellular respiration is a controlled process that occurs within living cells, while burning food is an uncontrolled combustion reaction that releases energy rapidly.
cellular respiration
All cells "capture" energy, and are able to convert that energy into food. Plant Cells (Prokaryotes) capture the energy emitted from the sun and convert that into energy so they can survive (Photosynthesis).
Mitochondria. These organelles using the electron transport chain are able to produce ATP which is the major energy unit in cells. Mitochondria produce energy from food Chloroplasts- produce energy from sunlight.
The mitochondria in a cell produce energy, but extra energy from food is transformed into fat and put into special fat storing cells to be accessed later.
Secretion
Cells convert energy into food for the organism in structures called mitochondria. Mitochondria are found in most cells and are known as the powerhouses of the cell, as they produce the energy currency of the cell called ATP through the process of cellular respiration.
Food provides cells with energy in the form of glucose, which is broken down through a series of metabolic processes to produce ATP, the main energy currency of cells. The ATP generated is used by cells to power essential functions and activities.
We get our energy from the food we eat. Our bodies break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the food we consume to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used by our cells for various functions.
Plant cells produce food for themselves through the process of photosynthesis. They convert sunlight into energy in the form of glucose, which they use for growth and development. In turn, other organisms like animals and humans rely on plants as a food source to obtain the energy stored in these organic molecules.
