Cellular respiration explained: How cells release energy from food

Cellular respiration cellular respiration Mitochondria are complex organelles in the cell where cellular respiration or oxidation occurs They are responsible for most of the energy used by eukaryotic cellular respiration Cellular respiration is the name for the series of biochemical reactions which enables living organisms to turn food molecules into energy The primary fuel for

respiration In human cells, anaerobic respiration occurs through a process known as fermentation If a cell does not have adequate oxygen to undergo
