The process by which cells break down sugar and other molecules to release energy, which they use to perform their functions.

A process that requires cells to use oxygen to produce energy.

Connections between atoms in a molecule. These bonds store energy that can be released during chemical reactions.

A molecule that carries energy within cells. It is often called the "energy currency" of the cell because it provides the energy needed for many cellular processes.
