During cellular respiration, the
food molecules such as glucose, are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)
and trapped in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) form for further us of cell’s
activities. ATP’s are formed at mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse. This type
of organelle takes and breaks nutrients absorbed by the cell and creates energy
afterward. The energy from ATP is then used by the body in kinetic activities
like running & walking or involuntary activities like breathing, blood
circulation, stimulus-responding, etc.
Thus, this happens during cellular
respiration before the energy is being distributed to different parts of the
body.
