Cellular respiration
Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take
place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into
adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.[1] The reactions
involved in respiration are catabolic reactions, which break large molecules into
smaller ones, releasing energy in the process, as weak so-called "high-energy"
bonds are replaced by stronger bonds in the products. Respiration is one of the
key ways a cell gains useful energy to fuel cellular activity. Cellular respiration is
considered an exothermic redox reaction which releases heat
