In short sentence, In your own words, describe the process of cellular respiration and why it is important. Be sure to identify the reactants and products in cellular respiration, and also tell where energy comes from and and how it is used or stored in this process.

Answer 1

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP, with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. This process is important because it provides the necessary energy for cellular functions. The energy comes from the chemical bonds within glucose being broken down and stored in ATP for later use in the cell.
