Cellular Respiration,

Detailed summary

Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. Cellular Respiration takes place in 4 steps: Glycolysis, Link Reaction, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain. Glycolysis breaks down the glucose and is used in the remaining steps.
