The video explains cellular respiration, a process in which cells convert food into ATP using oxygen. It covers the four stages: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Each stage is detailed, highlighting the conversion of glucose to energy, the role of NADH and FADH2, and the production of CO2 and water. The video concludes with a summary of the entire process and its chemical equation.
