// Cellular respiration is the set of biochemical reactions by which certain organic compounds are completely degraded by oxidation to its conversion into inorganic substances, a process that yields usable energy by the cell. The substrates commonly used in the process are glucose, other carbohydrates , fatty acids , including amino acids , ketones or other organic compounds. In animals, these fuels can come from food, which are extracted during digestion, or body stores. In plants, their origins could be the reserves, but also glucose obtained during photosynthesis. //

// Cellular respiration as a component of metabolism is a catabolic process in which the energy contained in the substrates used as fuel is released in a controlled manner. During that period, much of the detached free energy in these exothermic reactions is incorporated into the molecule of ATP ( or nucleotide triphosphate equivalent ), which can then be used in endothermic processes, such as maintenance and cell growth ( anabolism ).//
