Detailed explanation-1: -cellular respiration, the process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis is an ancient, major ATP-producing pathway that occurs in almost all cells, eukaryotes and prokaryotes alike. This process, which is also known as fermentation, takes place in the cytoplasm and does not require oxygen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the ATP energy obtained from cellular respiration is produced in the third and final stage, the electron transport chain. In the electron transport chain, electrons are passed from one acceptor to the next, in a series of redox reactions.
