Cellular respiration:

  1. The process in which organic molecules are biologically oxidized and energy is released in the form of ATP is called cellular respiration.
  2. Cellular respiration is an amphibolic process that occurs in multi-steps.
  3. Most of the steps in the cellular respiration process take place in the mitochondria.
  4. A series or chain of chemical reactions are involved in the complete breakdown of glucose.
  5. The ultimate aim of cellular respiration is to completely break the carbon-carbon (C-C) bond, of the glucose to release energy (ATP).
