Most cells generate ATP and other high-energy compounds by breaking down carbohydrates—especially glucose. The complete reaction sequence can be summarized as follows:
glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + ATP in the mitochondrion. You can see that carbon dioxide, water and ATP are all produced.
The breakdown occurs in a series of small steps, several of which release sufficient energy to support the conversion of ADP to ATP. The complete catabolism of one molecule of glucose provides a typical body cell a net gain of 36 molecules of ATP.ATP production occurs inside mitochondria.

What do mitochondria break down to produce energy?
In aerobic respiration, mitochondria break down oxygen and glucose to make energy, and also make carbon dioxide and water. In anaerobic respiration, they only use Glucose to make energy and also make lactic acid.
Do fish produce hydrogen as a waste product?
No, they only "breathe" oxygen that is dissolved in the water. They in no way break apart water molecules.
Does oxygen produce light?
Essentially oxygen does not produce light ... light itself is an energy, and cannot be created only changed
Will iron only rust if oxygen and water are presented?
Important is only the oxygen.
Which stage of cellular respiration is water produced?
water is made during the electron transport chain (etc) phase.
What do mitochondria break down to produce energy?
In aerobic respiration, mitochondria break down oxygen and glucose to make energy, and also make carbon dioxide and water. In anaerobic respiration, they only use Glucose to make energy and also make lactic acid.
What does mitochondria do in a eukaryote cell?
Mitochondria produce energy in the form of ATP. They are the cell's biochemical 'power factories'
Cells produce ATP most efficiently in the presence of what molecule?
Oxygen. Cells can produce much more ATP from glucose in the presence of Oxygen (aerobic respiration) than without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) in a process called oxidative phosphorylation that occurs in the mitochondria of cells. In the presence of oxygen one glucose can be broken down to produce 36 ATP Without oxygen, only 4 ATP can be made
What function does oxygen have in the body?
oxygen is solely used by mitochondria in cells for energy, that is the only reason we need oxygen.
How do trees produce water?
They do drink water, but they can go several weeks without it.
Why does the body only accept oxygen?
Tradition. The mitochondria have been our major energy source for about a quarter of a billion years - and they are designed to oxidize hydrogen to water.
Do fish produce hydrogen as a waste product?
No, they only "breathe" oxygen that is dissolved in the water. They in no way break apart water molecules.
Organisms without mitochondria are expected to produce how much fewer molecules?
They are anaerobic respirers. They produce only two
Does anaerobic exercise utilize oxygen for energy production?
it can produce energy in the presence and absence of oxygen unlike aerobic exercise which can only produce energy in the presence of oxygen
Does oxygen produce light?
Essentially oxygen does not produce light ... light itself is an energy, and cannot be created only changed
Does anaerobic respiration take place inside the mitochondria?
Anaerobic Respiration occurs only in the absence of Oxygen.
What can living things do?
1.They can produce food. 2.They can grow. 3.They can produce oxygen. This is only for plants who produce food Animals can find their own food they can not produce it. they grow and develop and they dont produce oxygen
