Question

What is cellular respiration?

Answer 1

Cellular respiration is a complex process associated with the oxidation of carbohydrates, lipids, and some amino acids. This multistep transformation of the biochemical compounds results in the synthesis of ATP molecules that are used as energy sources in the majority of biochemical reactions occuring in a cell. The oxidation of organic compounds results in the formation of carbon dioxide and water as bypass products.
