The primary goal or purpose of cellular respiration is to **release energy from food into a chemical form that can be used by the cell**. During cellular respiration, nutrients such as glucose are broken down to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which serves as the energy currency of the cell. This process allows cells to perform various functions necessary for life.
