Cellular respiration is a chemical reaction where glucose and oxygen are broken down into carbon dioxide, water and heat energy. This is the energy that our body's need to survive.

This reaction takes place in a cell called the mitochondria, often found in muscles

Why is ATP important for cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is the production of ATP but, you must use ATP to have cellular respiration. During cellular respiration you use 2 ATP molecules and can make a small amount of ATP (with out oxygen) or you can make a larger amount (with oxygen)


How is anaerobic respiration different from cellular respiration?

Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen, while cellular respiration does. Anaerobic respiration produces less energy compared to cellular respiration.


What are some important questions to ask about cellular respiration?

Some important questions to ask about cellular respiration include: How does cellular respiration produce energy for cells? What are the different stages of cellular respiration and how do they work? What role do mitochondria play in cellular respiration? How is cellular respiration related to the process of photosynthesis? What factors can affect the efficiency of cellular respiration in cells?


Which of the following is a product of cellular respiration and not fermentation?

ATP is a product of cellular respiration and not fermentation. Fermentation produces lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts, while cellular respiration produces ATP as the main energy currency of the cell.


What came first in evolution cellular respiration or photosynthesis?

Cellular respiration likely evolved before photosynthesis. Early prokaryotic organisms likely developed cellular respiration to generate energy from organic molecules. Photosynthesis evolved later in some prokaryotic organisms as a way to use sunlight to make energy.

Why do plant cells need to do cellular respiration if they can make ATP from sunlight?

Plants make ATP through cellular respiration. Photosynthesis, which requires sunlight, does not make ATP - but glucose - which is then converted to ATP by cellular respiration. Therefore plants still need respiration to make ATP.


What are the inputsoutputs of a cell?

Cellular Respiration Relationship In plants, plants use the outputs of photosynthesis (sugar, oxygen) as the inputs of cellular respiration. They then use the outputs of cellular respiration as the inputs of photosynthesis. It is a cycle.

No


Cellular respiration does what to glucose?

Cellular respiration breaks down glucose in order to make energy (ATP).


When occurs cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration occurs when cells oxidize food molecules into carbon dioxide and water. Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to get their energy.


The main point of photosynthesis is to make?

The main point of photosynthesis is to make Glucose for the plant to use in cellular respiration which will produce ATP for the plant cell to use to power its cellular activities.
