Here's why:
* Cellular Respiration: This is a series of metabolic reactions that occur within the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from food into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy currency of cells.
* Food Substances: These include carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, which contain stored chemical energy.
* Energy Release: Cellular respiration breaks down these food substances, releasing the stored energy in a controlled manner.
* All Living Cells: Cellular respiration is essential for life and takes place in virtually every type of living cell.
