Cellular Respiration Vocab

Cellular respiration is the process that converts glucose into ATP, releasing energy from food. It occurs in the mitochondria, which is essential for ATP synthesis, and involves both aerobic and anaerobic pathways. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and takes place in the mitochondria, while anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm and does not require oxygen.
