Both glycolysis and cellular respiration involve the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, while cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Overall, both processes are essential for generating ATP to power cellular activities.
Carbon makes up a large portion of the earth. 50% of a tree is carbon. When we burn just about anything the carbon is released in the form of carbon dioxide and water is often released as waste. A good example of this is petroleum, or gasoline. Complete combustion, or burning, when driving a car, releases carbon dioxide (CO2) and water.
Mitochondria, the "energy factory" of the cell. The aerobic portion of cellular respiration takes place there.
The carbon dioxide diffuses into the plasma portion of the blood and is carried to the heart. From there it is carried to the lungs where it is released when you exhale.
Oxygen (O2) - essential for respiration and combustion. Carbon dioxide (CO2) - produced by human respiration and combustion. Nitrogen (N2) - makes up a significant portion of Earth's atmosphere.
Decaying organic life emits a large portion. Naturally occurring fires also add a great amount of carbon dioxide. Natural respiration of animal life also gives off carbon dioxide. In total natural processes make up 94% of all carbon emissions.

Approximately 16% to 17% of inhaled oxygen is exhaled during normal breathing. The exhaled air still contains a significant amount of oxygen, as our bodies only use a small portion of the oxygen we breathe in for cellular respiration.
No, nitrogen is not used in the respiratory process. Oxygen is the primary gas used in respiration, as it is required for cellular respiration to take place in order to produce energy. Nitrogen makes up a large portion of the air we breathe but is not involved in the respiratory process.
Cellular RespirationSource: Holt Biology by Johnson Raven* Aerobic cellular respiration. Anaerobic cellular respiration yields a net gain of 2 ATP molecules for each glucose molecule broken down. Aerobic respiration yields a variable number, but always more than ten times as many ATP molecules.
MITOCONDRION
The medulla oblongata, located in the brainstem, is primarily responsible for regulating the rate of respiration by monitoring carbon dioxide levels in the blood. It sends signals to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles to adjust breathing rate accordingly.
