Cellular respiration requires glucose and oxygen as the initial reactants. Glucose is broken down in a series of steps to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source. This process occurs in the presence of oxygen and involves various enzymes and molecules within the cell.

The products of photosynthesis that begin cellular respiration are?

The products of photosynthesis that begin cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen. Glucose is broken down in the process of cellular respiration to release energy, and oxygen is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to produce ATP.


What molecule does cellular respiration start with?

Glucose and oxygen begin the process of respiration.


What is a reactant required to begin cellular respiration?

NADH and FADH 2 among other molecules. Where do these molecules come from


What is the function of cellular resperation?

Cellular respiration is the production of energy within a cell. Aerobic respiration requires O2 but is significantly more efficient than anaerobic respiration (without oxygen). In humans we cannot maintain life on anaerobic respiration alone, it is used for short periods of time to maintain small amounts of ATP that are required to begin aerobic respiration.


What does cellular respiration need in order to begin?

Glucose and oxygen


What gas is needed by the seed during germination?

Oxygen gas is needed by the seed during germination. Aerobic respiration takes place during seed germination to release lots of energy required for this process.


How does oxygen enter the atmosphere cellular respiration or photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis produces water and oxygen plus energy. It uses carbon dioxide and water to begin the process.


Does cellular respiration begin when the glucose starts breaking down?

Yes, cellular respiration begins with the breakdown of glucose in the cytoplasm of the cell during glycolysis. This process produces energy in the form of ATP and pyruvate, which then enters the mitochondria for further processing in the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.


What do cellular rrespiration and fermentation have in common?

The reason that they alike is because they are both trying to produce ATP for your body, but if Cellular Respiration fails, then they resort to Fermentation to get the job done! Hope that that was helpful! Julian


Describe the main difference between cellular respiration and burning?

Cellular Respiration is when cells get energy from carbohydratesso, the difference beween this and a fire is that this happens inside your body from carbohydrates


What are the products (results) of cellular respiration?

The end products of the entire process of typical uncomplicated cellular respiration -->are 36 or 38 ATP, 6 oxygen molecules, 6 carbon dioxide molecules, and 6 water molecules. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are different things though, I see that your question is under the category of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis (happens in green plants) produces glucose and oxygen. It then uses the glucose to begin cellular respiration in it's mitochondria.. plants need ATP too. They just use photosynthesis as a way of producing the sugar they need to produce ATP...just like we eat sugar for our energy production (cellular respiration)


What Process in Cellular Respiration requires 2 ATP to be invested?

Glycolysis cannot begin without two ATP molecules to start the process. Glycolysis yields 4 ATP molecules. Therefore, since 2 ATP molecules had been used up prior to the creation of the 4 ATP molecules, glycolysis has a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
