What are the output of energy in cellular respiration?
During cellular respiration a molecule called Adenine triphosphate or ATP is produced which is used for many different aspects of a cell's functions. Another molecule that is produced that contains potential energy is called NADH. A net total of 2 ATP and 2 NADH is produced during the stages of cellular respiration known as glycolysis and linkage reactions.
What the cell makes during in the process of cell respiration?
Oxygen.
How many NADH are produced during fermentation?
The fermentation pathway itself does not generate NADH itself. In fact NAD+ builds up. Glycolysis uses the NADH when oxidating carbon substrates and fermentation is used to regenerate the NAD+ and thus the cycle continues. If fermentation did not exist, NADH would build up and the cell would not be able to oxidize carbon anymore. The cell would die. In the case of respiration (aerobic or anaerobic) the cell will replenish its NAD+ pool the electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation). This generates even more potential to make ATP by pumping protons out of the cell using the energy generated from NADH -> NAD via NADH dehydrogenase. This gradient can be utilized by allowing the protons to flow back into the cell through ATPase, generating ATP. The utilization of NADH to pump protons out of the cell is the sole reason why respiration generates 36-38 ATP while fermentation generates 2 ATP per glucose. After much rambling, the point to take home is that the main job of fermentation in the cell is the replenish the NAD+ pool so that glycolysis can continue which drives biosynthesis.
Time when plants and animals conduct cell respiration?
Plant conduct cell respiration during photosynthesis during which time they release O2 into the atmosphere and absorb CO2. Animals conduct cell respiration during respiration they breath out CO2 and absorb the O2 needed to break down sugars.
Is O2 converted to CO2 during cell respiration?
only in Aerobic respiration

What is the purpose of cellular respiration in a cell?
The purpose of cellular respiration in an eukaryotic cell is to break down carbohydrates and to give the cell energy in the form of ATP. Cellular respiration in the eukaryotic cell takes place in the mitochondria.

Raw materials needed for glycolysis?
Glycolysis is inherent in the process of respiration. The cell requires glucose and oxygen during glycolysis and water is the by-product
Is O2 converted to CO2 during cell respiration?
only in Aerobic respiration
What purpose does the cell use the energy from redox reactions in cellular respiration?
The purpose of cellular respiration is to draw energy, oxygen and also to have carbon dioxide.
Which cell produces glucose during photosynthesis?
Plant Cell.
What is the function of the mitochondria in the cell cytoplasm?
The mitochondria's purpose is for cell respiration and generate ATP, the energy source for the cell.
NAD plus is a carrier for what?
NAD+ is an electron carrier used in cellular respiration. With the addition of an electron and a hydrogen, it becomes NADH. NADH is formed in glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle and is used for the formation of ATP in the Electron Transport Chain, providing energy for the cell.
What purpose does a cell use the energy from the reactions in cellular respiration?
To make ATP.
