Answer:

Cellular respiration is defined as a metabolic reaction occurs in cells, in which chemical energy from glucose is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

The alternative to glucose based cellular respiration is fermentation in which energy is produced from the oxidation of organic compounds, such as glucose from within a cell as "electron acceptors".
