How is cellular respiration carried out in the human body? All livings need a continuous supply of energy, as energy is used in a wide range of process including active transport and protein synthesis with happen in the human body. Most of these processes need energy in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which is a chemical substance that can disperse to any part of the cell and release energy. Every cell produces its own ATP by a process of cell respiration. Cell respiration is defined as "controlled release of energy in the form of ATP, from organic compounds in cells" (1). Cell respiration can be either aerobic (using oxygen) or anaerobic (without the use of oxygen). Glucose is often the organic compound used in cellular respiration. The chemical reactions that take place in the cytoplasm break down the glucose into a simpler organic compound called pyruvate, in these reactions a...
