Cellular Respiration is the process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and releasing, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water. It involves a series 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.
The overall chemical equation for cellular respiration is:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy (ATP)
