Why is cellular respiration important?

Answer 1

To provide energy.

The breakdown of nutrients in a cell to produce energy for that specific cell to carry out its daily activities is the function of mitochondria in cellular respiration.

Energy is needed in a muscle cell for locomotion (walking, running, sports, etc.) and for digestion (in your stomach).

In conclusion, since cellular respiration is the primary energy production process, it is critical to your everyday activities.
