What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process that our cells use to convert sugar (glucose) into energy (ATP).

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy.
