What is the Purpose of Cellular Respiration?

Answer – The purpose of cellular respiration is to produce energy in the form of usable ATP that can be used by the cell to fuel further vital reactions.

Explanation:

The term cellular respiration refers to a series of reactions taking place in the cell, usually in the mitochondria, through which stored glucose is converted into usable energy in the form of ATP. 

ATP is very important for life as it acts as the fuel for all other reactions that take place in the cell, vital for the maintenance of normal functioning of the cell (and therefore, the body).
