What else can I help you with?
What does aerobic cellular respiration do in animals?
It creates mass quantity of ATP from mitochondria.
What creates energy for cellular activity by process of aerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration in cells creates energy by breaking down glucose molecules through a series of chemical reactions that involve the intake of oxygen. This process produces ATP, the energy currency of cells, and also releases carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
Which organelle creates the energy for the eukaryotic cell?
Mitochondria generates most of the cell's energy in form of ATP.
What is the process in which the break down of sugars in living things returns carbon to the atmosphere as co2?
Cells first undergo glycolysis, where sugars are broken down into Pyruvic Acid. That pyruvic acid is used in two forms of processes: aerobic and anaerobic respiration, which use oxygen and no oxygen respectively. Aerobic Respiration is what the human body relies on since it creates the most ATP. [:
What respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen?
Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for efficient energy production.
Which of the following processes creates the most ATP per glucose molecule metabolized?
Electron transport chain (ETC) gives off the most ATP (32-24 ATP is released). It occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
Does aerobic respiration produce much ATP?
Yes, aerobic respiration is highly efficient in producing ATP compared to other forms of cellular respiration, producing up to 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. This process involves the complete breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen, resulting in a higher yield of ATP through the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation.
What poison creates large amounts that stop aerobic respiration happening?
Cyanide
How photosynthesis and cellular respiration opposite in terms of carbon dioxide?
Cellular respiration creates carbon dioxide while photosynthesis uses it.
What is light energy and what does it do for cellular respiration?
Light energy does not affect respiration, but it is needed for photosynthesis, which in plants creates the chemical compounds (carbohydrates) that are oxidized in cellular respiration.
Why the body switches between cellular and anaerobic respiration?
The body needs oxygen for cellular respiration. When doing strenuous activity, such as lifting weights, the mitochondria cannot get enough oxygen. Without oxygen to act as an electron receptor, the body creates lactic acid to "reset" coenzymes to continue respiration.
Do cellular respiration and fermentation both harvest energy from sugars?
Yes, they both create ATP. The difference is, cellular respiration creates 36 ATP molecules and fermentation only creates 2 ATP molecules.
