Answer:

The correct answer is - cellular respiration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration is the cellular biochemical process that includes different sets of chemical reaction takes place in mitochondria of the cell from glucose or sugar to the release of a huge amount of chemical energy in the form of ATP with carbon dioxide and water as a byproduct.

ATP or adenosine triphosphate is the basic and primary form of energy used by the cell. Following equation can summarize the complete production of energy from stored nutrients.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O+ energy (38 ATP)
