Question: What does ATP stand for?

Answer: Adenosine triphosphate

Question: What is ATP like?

Answer: ATP is like a rechargeable battery.

Question: What is made in the process of cellular respiration?

Answer: 6 carbon dioxides, 6 waters and ATPs are charge up with the power to do work in the cells

Question: Does cellular respiration happen in plant cells too?

Answer: Yes, the sugars from photosynthesis are the fuel for making energy for the plant
