Process that cells use to release energy?

Cells release energy through a process called cellular respiration. This process involves breaking down glucose molecules to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.


Why does cellular respiration happen in both animals and plants?

Cellular respiration isn't the same thing as regular human respiration (most of us use the words "breathing" and "respiration" interchangeably, even though biologists use the term "respiration" to mean something a little different). Cellular respiration is when living cells convert fuel - either oxygen or sunlight- into energy that they can use. For example, cellular respiration in humans is the process by which oxygen used to power the synthesis of ATP (ATP is a high-energy molecule that our cells depend on to survive). Plants use a similar process to convert the energy of the sun into building blocks they can use.


What happens in respiration reactions if no oxygen is present?

This is when anaerobic respiration takes place. It is respiration without using oxygen. However, when anaerobic respiration takes place, lactic acid is produced and accumulates until the muscles cannot work any more. This is why anaerobic respiration can not happen for very long. After anaerobic respiration, the person usually has to breathe heavily in order to break down the lactic acid and to 'pay back the oxygen debt'.

What type of energy is always released from living cells during respiration?

The type of energy always released from living cells during respiration is chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This energy is produced through the process of converting glucose into usable energy by the cells.
