Question

Explain the following term - cellular respiration

Answer 1

Answer Below V

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic activities and processes that occur within organisms' cells to transform chemical energy from oxygen molecules or nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and then release waste products.

Answer 2

Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules[1] or nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.[2] The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions, which break large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy because weak high-energy bonds, in particular in molecular oxygen,[3] are replaced by stronger bonds in the products.
