Cellular respiration is what cells do to break up sugars into a form that the cell can use as energy. This happens in all forms of life. Cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create ATP, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. Regular cellular respiration is aerobic (requires oxygen), but some simple organisms can only do anaerobic cellular respiration.
The simplified formula for aerobic cellular respiration isC6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (as ATP)
The word equation for this is:Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (as ATP)
What else can I help you with?
What is respriation in food?
The breaking down of glucose into usable energy.
What are the end products of respriation?
6 carbon dioxide molecules and 36 ATP molecules
What is the equation for cellular respriation?
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy (34-36 ATP + heat)
What product respriation that can be seen in a person's breath on really cold day?
That is the water vapor from our breath, that condenses to water droplets. Water vapor by itself is invisible - it becomes visible when it forms droplets.
What is the difference between anaerobic respriation and aerobic respriation?
The difference between anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration is that with Type one which is slow twitch the muscles are aerobic (uses oxygen).Therefore, this is why when biking, jogging, and swimming, for example, you will not get as fatigued and you will have more endurance. The other respiration would be type two which is fast twitch, which are anaerobic (require no oxygen) these are vulnerable to accumulation of lactic acid and can fatigue easily,this kind of muscle twitch is found most often being used by weight lifters,and sprinters, or perhaps, someone swinging a golf club. This type is found to be designed for strength.
Cell organelle where respriation takes place?
The cell organelle where respiration takes place is the mitochondrion. Often referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell," mitochondria are responsible for converting nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through processes like the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. This energy production is essential for various cellular functions and activities.
What are the products of cell respriation?
The product is Carbon Dioxide.
When the sequence of respriation photosynthesis decomposition occur for an atom of carbon to go from a human toa car?
The sequence begins with carbon dioxide being absorbed by plants during photosynthesis, converting it into organic matter. When a human consumes the plant, carbon from the plant enters the human body through respiration. Upon decomposition after death, carbon is released back into the environment, where it can eventually be absorbed by plants again or enter the atmosphere. Ultimately, when fossil fuels are burned in a car, carbon from ancient plants is released back into the atmosphere, completing the cycle.
How do species cause the removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide?
The only species that I am aware of that removes atmospheric CO2 are various types of plants. They remove the CO2 through a process called photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (Sunlight) ® C6H12O6 + 6O2. Aerobic respriation which is performed by many species is the opposite of photosynthesis and actually contributes to the addition of CO2 in the atmosphere. Anaerobic respiration: Glucose (Broken down to) →Energy (ATP) + Ethanol + Carbon dioxide (CO2) or Glucose (Broken down to) →Energy (ATP) + Lactic acid. As you can see this form of respiration also contributes to the realease of CO2 into the atmosphere. Also, plants contribute to the release of CO2 in the atmosphere when they die or when deforestation occurs, and also when they perform respiration at night. However, they remove more CO2from the atmosphere through photosynthesis than they release through respiration.
Is nitrogen required in the stage of respiration?
Yes, oxygen is the fuel for respiration... oxygen + glucose = carbod dioxide + water + Energy However, the carbon dioxide and oxygen for a plant or tree would be the other way round because plants breath in co2 and give out oxygen.
Does alcohol contain oxygen?
Strictly speaking, no, fermentation is the result of anaerobic (without oxygen) respiration of sugar by yeast. But its more complicated than that... Yeast requires oxygen for a number of processes essential for reproduction. Most fermentations involve the initial introduction of oxygen to ensure a strong yeast colony is established. And brewers yeast will ferment without using oxygen even if oxygen is available. Alcohol is toxic to many other organisms (and in high enough concentrations to yeast as well) and by converting sugar to alcohol it can prevent other organisms from getting established.
Differentiate aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Hi, For this answer, i am assuming you have some high school biology knowledge (general understanding of glycolysis, kreb cycle, pyruvate oxidation etc..) Anaerobic respriation and fermentation differ in the chemical pathways. Fermentation occurs when the pyruvate (or some derivative of it) that is produced after glycolysis is reduced by NADH to usually form an organic compound (lactic acid in lactic acid fermentation and ethanol in alcoholic fermentation). It is important to note that fermentation does not have to occur in anaerobic evironments, for example yeast prefers fermentation even in the presence of oxygen (as long as sugars are available). Therefore, the defining characteristic of fermentation is that the electrons from the coenzymes (NADH from the glycolosis) are transfered back to part of the original substrate (pyruvate). Note that the electrons are donated to something which came from within the cell (pyruvate). On the other hand, anaerobic respiration is actually very similar to aerobic respiration. In anaerobic respiration, you would go through glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, kreb cycle and then electron transfer chain just as you would in aerobic respiration with the difference that that the terminal electron acceptor is NOT oxgyen (nitrate, nitrite etc..). The defining characteristic here is that the terminal electron acceptor is anything by oxygen but otherwise, it is very similar to aerobic respiration. Note that the electrons are donated to something which came from outside the cell (nitrate, nitrite etc..). Therefore, fermentation goes something like glycolysis -> donating electron back to pyruvate or a derivative of pyruvate (electron acceptor from internal source); while anaerobic respiration goes something like glycolysis -> pyruvate oxidation -> kreb cycle -> electron transfer chain with terminal electron acceptor being anything but oxygen (electron acceptor from external source). Hope this made sense
