Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are the main chemicals involved in cellular respiration and are also found in the respiration of animal organisms, including humans. Oxygen is used in the process of cellular respiration to generate energy, while carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product and expelled from the body during exhalation.
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the two cellular processes involved in the oxygen-carbon cycle. In photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while in cellular respiration, organisms take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. These processes are interrelated and essential for balancing oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
Cellular respiration is conducted in the mitochondria of the cell.
No, chlorophyll is not directly involved in cellular respiration. Chlorophyll is primarily responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis in plants. Cellular respiration, on the other hand, is the process by which cells break down glucose to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
No. Cellular respiration uses NADH as an electron carrier. NADPH is used in photosynthesis.
Cell respiration occurs in the mitochondria
The Electron Transport Chain
Yes, atoms involved in photosynthesis and cellular respiration are continuously recycled within living organisms. During photosynthesis, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms are used to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water. In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to release energy, carbon dioxide, and water, recycling the atoms back into the environment.
I believe you may have misinterpreted a concept. You cannot convert energy into matter. However, if you meant "what process is glucose converted to energy?" then the answer would be glucose hydrolysis and the Krebs Cycle (for organisms involved in oxidative phosphorylation). It's a very beautiful process involving innumerable proteins and molecules =D.
Most of the chemical reactions involved in cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria. The process of creating cell energy is known as cellular respiration.
Mitochondria are the organelles most involved in cellular respiration. They are responsible for generating ATP, the cell's energy currency, through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Other organelles like the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum play supporting roles in cellular respiration by providing substrates or enzymes needed for the process.
