Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that cellular respiration is a metabolic process that occurs in the cells of organisms.
Recognize that the primary goal of cellular respiration is to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy currency of the cell.
Identify that glucose is the main substrate used in cellular respiration to produce ATP.
Acknowledge that carbon dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration, not the primary goal.
Note that oxygen is consumed during cellular respiration, not produced, and glucose is broken down rather than stored.
