What is the definition of cell respiration?
A
All biochemical reactions that occur within an organism
B
The controlled release of energy from organic compounds in the form of ATP
C
Energy requiring reactions whereby small molecules are built up into larger ones
D
Chemical reactions that break down complex organic compounds into simpler ones
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -• Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP. Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP. The main organic compound used for this process is carbohydrates (glucose), although lipids and proteins can also be digested.

Detailed explanation-2: -Listen to pronunciation. (sel RES-pih-RAY-shun) A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars). Also called aerobic metabolism, aerobic respiration, and oxidative metabolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body. There are three main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
