Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf Cellular \ respiration}}\\[/tex]
Explanation:
The process of cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells. It goes through 3 stages: glycolysis, the citric acid/Krebs cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.
The equation is:
[tex]C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2 ->6CO_2+6H_2O+38 \ ATP[/tex]
In this aerobic process (requires oxygen), glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) from the food animals eat or produced from photosynthesis and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide, water, and useable energy (ATP).
So, the cell function described is cellular respiration.
