Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic processes that break down sugars or food to produce energy. ATP is the cellular energy produced during cellular respiration. Cellular respiration requires oxygen which is also called aerobic respiration. There are stages of cellular respiration and they include; glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, Krebs cycle or citric acid and oxidative phosphorylation. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down into carbondioxide and water. Along the way, ATP is produced from the processes that transform glucose.
