Answer:

Cellular respiration is a process in which glucose is broken down to produce ATP, or energy. This same energy is essential to all processes within the cell, powering almost everything.

I'm sorry I couldn't provide a better explanation :(((

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level. Respiration is essential for survival of living organisms because it releases energy from the food. We need this to function.
