Respiration Cellular

Cellular respiration is the process by which the energy of glucose is released in the cell to be used for life processes (movement, breathing, blood circulation, 

Cells require a constant source of energy for life processes but keep only a small amount of ATP on hand. Cells can regenerate ATP as needed by using the energy stored in foods like glucose

Is a series of reactions where fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, mostly glucose, are broken down to make CO2, water, and energy

•The energy stored in glucose by photosynthesis is released by cellular respiration and repackaged into the energy of ATP.

Respiration occurs in ALL cells and can take place either with or without oxygen present.
