Soluhengitystään
Soluhengitystään is a Finnish term that translates to "cellular respiration" in English. It refers to the biochemical process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the main energy currency of the cell. This process is fundamental to life as it provides the energy required for all cellular activities, including muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and synthesis of new molecules.
Cellular respiration is a complex series of reactions that occur in different parts of the cell. It
The overall equation for cellular respiration is often simplified as: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP. This
