In short, Cellular Respiration can be considered spontaneous because it releases energy (negative enthalpy) and becomes disordered(positive entropy) 

A spontaneous reaction is a decrease in enthalpy ans an increase in entropy. 
Entropy is energy release from a system when an event takes place. 

The purpose of cellular respiration is to release energy from glucose so that organisms can use that energy.

On the sea side, dunes often shape the surface, on the land side they are flat. They were created by deposits of waves, currents and wind. Their formation requires a shallow coastal fore, a sufficiently large sediment store and a weak to moderate tidal range.
