Generation

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose (sugar) in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, the energy currency that powers all cellular activities. It occurs in three main stages: glycolysis (in the cytoplasm), the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain (both in the mitochondria). Through these steps, one glucose molecule yields approximately 36-38 ATP molecules, while also producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products. This process is essentially the opposite of photosynthesis, converting the chemical energy stored in food into a usable form for the cell.
