Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Concepts

The video provides an overview of cellular respiration, explaining how cells produce ATP energy. It compares photosynthesis and cellular respiration, highlighting their complementary roles. The video details the organisms that perform cellular respiration and the organelles involved, primarily the mitochondria. It covers the stages of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, explaining the processes and products of each stage. The video concludes with a review and practice questions for students.
