cellular respiration definition The chemical process that generates most of the energy in the cell, supplying molecules needed to make the metabolic reactions (see metabolism) of an organism run. Note: The main carrier of energy in metabolism is the molecule ATP.
What Cellular Respiration is. Cellular Respiration is the process where living organisms gathers the energy in food molecules to make energy. Heterotrophs, organisms that must get energy from food indirectly from sunlight or inorganic substances, go through the process of cellular respiration to get the energy needed. This energy comes from food. Heterotrophs, including humans and other animals, undergo Cellular Respiration, where the energy contained in food is released to make ATP, which provides cells with the energy needed to carry out the processes of life. Cellular Respiration takes place in a living body of a heterotroph.
