Cellular respiration releases energy because the bonds in carbohydrates are broken during the reaction.
During cellular respiration, carbohydrates are broken down in a series of reactions, and the energy in the bonds is released as ATP, the energy currency of cells.
The reaction is in 3 steps:
- Glycolysis
- Kreb's cycle
- Electron transport chain
The summary of the reactions is represented by the equation below:
[tex]C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 ---> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + ATP[/tex]
