Cellular Respiration

Cellular Respiration is the series of metabolic reactions that takes place in a cell that harvests chemical energy. The energy is converted from the stored chemical energy in molecules to the stored energy in ATP.

What body systems work together to remove the waste products of cellular respiration from cells?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The respiratory system and the circulatory system work together to remove waste products of cellular respiration from cells. During respiration, carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product, which diffuses from cells into the bloodstream. The circulatory system then transports the carbon dioxide to the lungs where it is exhaled, completing the process of waste removal.

What is the energy molecule that is produced by cellular respiration and is used in metabolic reaction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The energy molecule produced by cellular respiration and used in metabolic reactions is called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is synthesized during cellular respiration and serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing the energy needed for various cellular processes and metabolic reactions.

What is the correct sequence stages in cellular respiration?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The correct sequence of stages in cellular respiration is glycolysis, Krebs cycle and then electron transport chain. However, this will depend on whether the respiration is anaerobic or aerobic.

Why is electron transport so critical in the process of cellular respiration?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Electron transport is a critical process in cellular respiration because it provides energy for cells in the form of ATP. Electron transport occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves the transfer of electrons from one molecule to another. The energy generated from this process is used to synthesize ATP the main energy currency of cells. This energy is then used to power a variety of cellular processes such as DNA replication and protein synthesis. Without electron transport cells would not be able to generate the energy required for these essential processes.

Electron transport is essential for cellular respiration because it:

  • Moves electrons from one molecule to another
  • Generates energy in the form of ATP
  • Powers a variety of cellular processes

In conclusion electron transport is a critical process in cellular respiration because it provides cells with the energy required for essential processes. Without it cells would not be able to generate the energy required for these processes and would not be able to survive.

Comparing and contrasting photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

2 ways alike:

both photosynthesis and respiration occur in organelles of plant cells.

both involve the flow of electrons through the cell membrane in order to harvest energy.

2 ways they are different:

Respiration produces energy, where as Photosynthesis requires energy

Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, respiration takes place in mitochondria

Is it true that the cellular respiration in eukaryote is more efficient than in prokaryotes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cellular respiration is usually more efficient in eukaryotic cells because they have a organelle, mitochondria, that produce energy (in the form of ATP)

Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane organelles but some can use their cellular membranes to produce ATP, some bacteria even have sections of membrane in-folding to allow the reactions to occur. This usually produces the same amount of energy as mitochondria respiration and requires oxygen.

Prokaryotes that do not require oxygen or are harmed by oxygen usually can ferment sugars. Fermentation produces very little energy compared to respiration. Other bacteria can oxidize inorganic chemicals to acquire energy but this produces little energy.

Mosses belong to Plantae. So it have mitochondria

How does photosynthesis and cellular respiration store energy to produce ATP?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Photosynthesis uses light water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose. The glucose produced is then used, with oxygen, in cellular respiration to produce ATP.

Chemical Equations

Photosynthesis

6CO2+6H2O ------> C6H12O6+6O2

Cellular Respiration

C6H12O6+6O2 ------> 6CO2+6H2O+38 ATP

NOTE *Plants use photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

*Animals just use the glucose they obtain from food to perform cellular respiration.

*This is the formula for aerobic cellular respiration not anaerobic which doesn't use oxygen and produces lactic acid in humans.

How do euglena do cellular respiration?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Eugena does not breathe in the sense that animals do. However, it does perform photosynthesis, which helps allow for the exchange of gases. Also, the permeable membrane surrounding the euglena allows for gaseous exchange.

How do you describe a cellular phone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A cellular telephone (cell phone) is a small, mobile communication device that you can call or send messages to people from. Many cell phones available now have upgrades such as mobile e-mail, mobile internet, a camera, a navigator, and chat rooms (usually these cost extra, but a camera is built in.) You can obtain a cell phone at stores such as Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT and T. Other providers are Nokia, Samsung, and TracFone.

How does cellular respiration depend on photosynthesis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce energy and expels carbon dioxide. This ultimately depends on photosynthesis, because plants take the carbon dioxide out of the air and use it for photosynthesis, which expels oxygen into the air as waste.

Is cellular respiration a negative or positive delta g?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Photosynthesis is a positive delta G as it produces more free energy than it uses. The overall result of the Gibbs equations shows that delta G is positive

How are the equations for photosyntheis and cellular respiration related?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes they are related. Carbohyrdates are used in respiration.

How does cellular respiration effect carbon and oxygen in the atmosphere?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cellular respiration uses oxygen and generates carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and generates oxygen.

What are the organelles that digest and dispose of worn out mitochondria and other organelles by a process called autophagy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Autophagy, being the degradation of cytoplasmic components as well as other organelles, is generally done with the lysosomes. The lysosomes, contain enzymes (hydrolase and others)to digest these worn out, damaged, or infected parts, which keeps the cell healthy and clean. mTOR regulates this process (mammalian target of rapamycin). I don't know of any other organelles that are involved in this process but lysosomes do carry out a similar procedure to autophagy. It's called autolysis, and that is basically when the lysosome, excretes all of its digestive juices into the cell. It's like a self destruct and the entire cell is condemned to a digestive end. Don't worry, it only applies to damaged cells.
