For the same power to the wheels, at lower cadence, your leg muscles have to work harder for each stroke. For the same power to the wheels, at higher cadence, your legs move around more, so there's some energy cost associated with that, and your cardio works a bit harder, but your leg muscles can do less work per stroke.
Power = Cadence * Pedaling Force (* constants)
