Cellular Respiration

The video explains the importance of energy for powering homes and living organisms. It introduces cellular respiration as the body's power plant, converting food into energy in the form of ATP and NADH. The process occurs in the mitochondria and is more efficient than a gasoline engine. Digestion breaks down food, which fuels cellular respiration, turning glucose into carbon dioxide, water, and energy compounds. The video highlights the efficiency of cellular respiration compared to engines.
