The transfer of energy from nutrients to ATP is accomplished most directly by the process of?

The transfer of energy from nutrients to ATP is most directly accomplished through the process of cellular respiration, which occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. During cellular respiration, energy is extracted from nutrients in the form of electrons, which drive the production of ATP through a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.


The exchange of gases for internal cellular respiration is accomplished by?

The circulatory system


The movement of both oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body is accomplished by?

The process known as diffusion. The cardiovascular system plays a large role by transporting both of these gases through the blood. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are both carried by the red blood cells (RBC). The carbon dioxide is "buffered" by the blood to keep it from turning acidic. This process results in respiration. The two kinds of respiration are internal (tissue) respiration and external (pulmonary) respiration.


What is the process by which the chemical energy of food molecules is released?

The first step of the process is the digestion.


Is the process of cellular respiration endergonic, catabolic, or anabolic?

Cellular respiration is a catabolic process.


How does the process of fermentation differ from the process of respiration?

while respiration implies air, fermentation is an anaerobic (no oxygen) process.


What is the of the process of respiration that does not require oxygen?

anaerobic respiration


What organs does the squid use for respiration?

Gas exchange is accomplished by pair of bipectinate, nonciliated gills.


Where is the process of cellular respiration carried out in prokaryotes?

What is the process called when the carbon dioxide leaves the animal?

breathing


Which process depends on energy from respiration?

Cellular respiration is the process that depends on energy from respiration. This process involves the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP, the main energy currency of cells.
