When, all the time any one organism is alive.

Where, Genetically, anywhere where there is a processing plant to burn oxygen and make energy (To use for example in muscles)

Why, to live / perform a job to maintain a life.

By definition, respiration requires that an organism (or cell) take in oxygen, use it to generate cellular energy, and give off carbon dioxide as waste.

So, by that definition, not all cells perform cellular respiration.

However, all cells take in chemicals to generate energy and give off waste...which are generalizations of this same process.

Anaerobic bacteria often living in sulfurous and oxygen-poor environments, and give off methane and hydrogen sulfide as waste.

Plants take in carbon dioxide, water, other nutrients from air and soil, and light, engage in photosynthesis to generate energy from those reactants, and give off oxygen as their waste product.
