Cellular respiration:
Cellular respiration is the process by which cell break down glucose with oxygen to store the energy as adenine triphosphate or ATP. Energy from ATP is used to help the cell perform daily functions like growing, dividing and repairing itself. Glucose can either be created through photosynthesis in plant cells or ingested in animal cells.
There are four phages of cellular respiration.
• Glycolysis
• Transition stage
• Citric acid cycle
• Electron transport chain
