Detailed explanation-1: -What is the purpose of cellular respiration? Cellular respiration is used to generate usable ATP energy in order to support many other reactions in the body. ATP is particularly important for energetically unfavorable reactions that would otherwise not occur without an energy input.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP. This process releases carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
Detailed explanation-3: -The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions, which break large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy (ATP). Respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular activity.
