What happens to food during cellular respiration?

Answer 1

Oxygen is used by most organisms in respiration to break down food into energy that all the cells that need it can use

The act of respiration has nothing to do with the food. Respiration carries out the gaseous exchange in the lungs. The food gets digested in the stomach and gets propelled into the small bowel for further digestion and absorption and the waste then reaches the large bowel for absorption of water and the formed stools are passed out on defecation.

Answer 2

The digestive system and the chemical pathway of cellular respiration are both different and interrelated to one another. The digestive system is the source for the glucose molecules that drive respiration. Vice-versa the very cells that drive the digestive system are also respirating themselves by taking oxygen and glucose to produce ATP energy.

Answer 3

The relationship of digestion and cellular respiration also includes breathing. After you eat, your body digest or breaks down food particles. Then, when you inhale air is taken in and small molecules cross into the blood stream. These molecules include glucose and oxygen. You need both glucose and oxygen in order for the process of cellular respiration to begin.

(Hope this helps! I have this question on my test tomorrow!)

Answer 4

During cellular respiration, digested food is converted into ATP or adenosine triphosphate. The ATP then provides the body with energy for various functions.

Answer 5

Ingested food that undergoes cellular respiration are converted into ATP molecules. These molecules provide the body with the necessary energy in order to perform biological functions.

Answer 6

NO...Food is synthesized through photosynthesis.

Answer 7

Your body breaks down the sugars in the foods that you eat and use the glucose to fuel cellular respiration.
