So pretty much:
Food=energy

Cells harvest energy from food molecules by what?
when oxygen is present pyruvant and NADH are used to make a large amount of ATP. this process is called aerobic respiration.
How do cells take in nutrients and convert it into energy?
the mithocondria turns nutrients/food energy
Breaking down food for energy using oxygen is called?
cellular respiration
How do humans generate heat?
This is from the oxidation of food during respiration in body cell.Any increase activity,muscle action which increase respiration will increase heat production.
Explain how photosynthetic organisms benefit humans?
Photosynthesis(done by plants) and Respiration(done by animals) are two antagonistic processes. Respiration uses O2 as an acceptor of reducing equivalents(electrons). Respiration takes fuel such as glucose and fully oxidizes it by changing it into CO2. Photosynthesis uses the energy of light to produce glucose(and other types of fuel) from CO2. It uses the energy from light to reverse the oxidation process. Photosynthesis also produces O2 which acts as an electron acceptor for respiration. Hope that helps.
is food broken down when respiration in plants occur?
is food broken down when respiration in plants occur?
What is the energy released in respiration used for?
Heating the body to allow chemical reactions to occur
What are three types of respiration system?
respiration means breaking down of food particles i dont no want u meant?
What are the three types of respiration System?
respiration means breaking down of food particles i dont no want u meant?
Two types of respiration?
Aerobic respiration facilitates ATP to produce chains of DNA in all life forms. Anaerobic respiration occurs for the production of materials, such as food.
What occur during respiration?
Cells break down simple food molecules such as sugar and release the energy it contains.
Which best describes respiration?
It converts Energy in food into a more usable form
What is the relationship of calories to cellular respiration?
Calories are a form of energy. Any time a cell converts food into energy then the cell is breathing. So the relationship is that in order for cell respiration to occur the cell must convert food and calories (energy).
Where do the final stages of cellular respiration occur?
In plant cells, photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, water, and sunshine to make food, and oxygen. Cellular respiration uses oxygen photosynthesis makes and turns it into carbon dioxide so photosynthesis can occur again. -Emily
What temp does Oxidation of food occur?
Oxidation of food can occur at temperatures as low as 40 degrees. This temperature increases danger of food spoilage. It is best to keep food a lot cooler.
What statements best describes cellular respiration?
It converts energy in food into a more usable form. (Cellular Respiration-The enzyme-controlled process in which energy is released from food and converted into a form that the cell can use.)
What organelle does the resperation occur?
Cellular respiration occurs due to mitochondria. It is done to produce ATP (high energy molecule - adenosine triphosphate) There are two types of cellular respiration: anaerobic and aerobic aerobic respiration requires the use of oxygen anaerobic uses electron acceptors other than oxygen such as sulfate or nitrate The food we eat provides energy. Our cells break down our food into ATP through mitochondria. Glycolysis(splitting sugars) that does not use oxygen is called fermentation.
