Cellular respiration

Explanation:

Cellular respiration can be described as a process in which glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water. Energy is released in this process in the form of ATP molecules. All cells of the body carry out cellular respiration and produce ATP. The ATP produced by each cell through this process is used to carry out the normal functions of the cell for eg the growth of the cell etc.
