During cellular respiration, the molecule that is primarily broken down is **sugar**. Specifically, glucose is commonly used as the starting molecule in the process of cellular respiration. The breakdown of sugars releases energy, which is then used to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of the cell.
