Cellular Respiration
Definition of cellular respiration
Celluar resperation is a set of reactions and the process that take place in the cells of organisms to convert energy from nutrients into ATP, then it releases waste products.
It is really the process of releasing energy from the food you eat to make ATP.

The three pieces of Cellular Respiration are:
- Glycolosis- happens in they cytoplasam of the cell and breaks down 1 glucose into 2 pyruvic acid
- Kreb Cycle- Occurs in the matrix where 2 pyruvic acid are broken down
- Electron Transport Chain
Why Do We Do Cellular Resperation????
Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down sugars, fats, and proteins and extracting energy from them.

fun facts
- Cellular respiration is made up of both anaerobic and aerobic.
- Cellular respiration is made up of a couple of steps. Glycolsis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain
- In 1937, a biochemist by the name of Hans Adolph Krebs observed the chain of breakdowns that constitute the citric acid cycle. - So he is kind of like the founding father, hence name KREB cycle.
