Cellular respiration is a biochemical process in which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. It consists of three main stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation. During these reactions, energy stored in glucose is released and captured in the form of ATP, which cells use for various functions. This process is crucial for maintaining the energy balance in living organisms.
