Cellular respiration A series of metabolic reactions that occur in living cells to produce energy. Cellular respiration breaks down sugar and turns it into energy that cells use to function. This process occurs in the mitochondria of organisms and releases carbon dioxide and water as waste products. Respiration The process of taking in oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from the body. This process is performed by the lungs. Cellular respiration can be divided into aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration based on oxygen demand. Fermentation is another type of cellular respiration... Show more Cellular respiration A series of metabolic reactions that occur in living cells to produce energy.
