Cellular respiration involves many chemical reactions, but they can all be summed up with this chemical equation: C6h12o6 6o2 â†' 6co2 6h2o chemical energy (in atp) The reactions of cellular respiration can be grouped into three main stages and an intermediate stage:

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing biological fuels using an inorganic electron acceptor, such as oxygen, to drive production of adenosine triphosphate (atp), which stores chemical energy in a …
