cellular respiration  Cellular respiration is the process by which food, in the form of sugar , is transformed into energy within cells  Cellular respiration is the process by which food, in the form of sugar , is transformed into energy within cells

In eukaryotic cells, the pyruvate molecules produced at the end of glycolysis are transported into mitochondria, which are the sites of 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

Cells release the energy in those organic molecules by breaking them down Through cellular respiration and fermentation, those bonds are broken releasing the Cellular respiration: Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen Oxygen is the final electron acceptor for step 4 Steps: 1 Glycolysis
