The primary role of cellular respiration in organisms is to provide energy for cell activity. This process converts biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which cells use to perform various functions necessary for life. While cellular respiration does involve breaking down fuel molecules, the ultimate purpose is to generate the energy needed for cellular processes, not directly for photosynthesis or making oxygen.
