Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, the monosaccharide glucose, (the most basic form of carbohydrate) can be combined with oxygen. The high-energy electrons that are found in the glucose are transferred to the oxygen and potential energy is released. The energy is stored in the form of ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cells do cellular respiration to extract energy from the bonds of glucose and other food molecules. Cells can store the extracted energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
Detailed explanation-5: -All living cells must carry out cellular respiration. It can be aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen or anaerobic respiration. Prokaryotic cells carry out cellular respiration within the cytoplasm or on the inner surfaces of the cells.
