metabolic process of all living cells; respiration is an oxidation-reduction reaction involving an oxidant (electron acceptor) and a reductant (electron donor); aerobes use oxygen as the electron acceptor.

• STAGE 2 - The Second Stage of Cellular Respiration is called OXIDATIVE RESPIRATION, and follows Glycolysis.
• VBS Home page,VBS Course Navigator, Cellular Respiration, Overview, Previous Page, Next Page , Top of page The Point of Cellular Respiration The point of cellular respiration is to harvest electrons from organic compounds such as glucose and use that energy to make a molecule called ATP.
• The overall reaction for cellular respiration is C6H12O6+6O2 6CO2+6H2O (+ energy for the cell to use for other things).
• Cellular respiration is therefore a process in which the energy in glucose is transferred to ATP.
• Cellular respiration is the process by which food is broken down by the body's cells to produce energy, in the form of ATP molecules.
