A glucose molecule is an important source of energy for cells. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in a series of chemical reactions to release energy. The process starts in the cytoplasm, where glucose is converted into a smaller molecule called pyruvate. This occurs during a stage known as glycolysis, and it produces some ATP, which is the energy currency of cells. After that, the pyruvate enters the mitochondria, where it's further broken down in a process called the Krebs cycle, producing carbon dioxide and more ATP. Overall, the main products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP, which the cell uses for various functions.
