                      Cellular Respiration

   This is how you do Cellular Respiration, First of all the process is called glycolysis is to split up glucose (a type of sugar) 6 carbons to be exact, and then split it in half and that leaves you with 3 carbon molecules called pyruvic acid which is a 3 carbon molecule which results of splitting of glucose to glycolysis. Other sugars, such as fructose, is also being harvested during this porcess. Cellular Respiration is also known as the process wich happens withen the mitochondria in which cells use oxyen to burn sugar for fuel.

Here's a little song to help explain Cellular Respiration to you step by step.

This is a little clip to show what happens. (If you read the song first it might make more sense)
