Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down molecules like glucose to release energy that is then transferred to other molecules in the form of ATP. This energy is used by cells to carry out various functions. Mitochondria do not release glucose molecules, and cells do not breathe in oxygen and give off carbon monoxide. Energy is not absorbed from glucose and transferred to carbon monoxide.
