Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP. It involves several stages: Glycolysis, Pyruvate oxidation, Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle), and Electron Transport Chain (ETC). Oxygen is required as the final electron acceptor in the last stage of aerobic respiration.
