Cellular respiration often begins with glucose which is broken down during what?
In the mitochondria
Where is photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, water, and light energy is turned into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen and turned into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As you can see, the are both really a big cycle.
What organelle produces most of the energy that is released during respiration?
The last two phases of cellular respiration, the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, take place in the mitochondria. This is the organelle where most of the ATP (energy) from respiration is released.
Where in the cell is pyruvate broken down?
Pyruvate oxidation occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria
What is produced by mitochondria during cellular respiration?
The main product is ATP.CO2 produced as a by product.
What things are used during cellular respiration?
mitochondria
What is the exact function of the mitohondria?
The mitochondria are rod-shaped and have been described as the power house of the cell.in the mitochondria energy is released from food during the process of internal or cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration often begins with glucose which is broken down during what?
In the mitochondria
What happens in the mitochondria during cellular respiration?
Yes, cellular respiration involves the mitochondria Yes. Most of the cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria and the mitochondria membrane. That is probably why the mitochondria are known as the "Powerhouse" of the cell.
What do cells use to breakdown food?
Mitochondria. There is a complex process called cellular respiration during which the mitochondria breaks down the food.
Where is photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, water, and light energy is turned into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen and turned into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As you can see, the are both really a big cycle.
Where in the cell does cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
They use both but under different circumstances. During the day, they use photosynthesis. During the night, since there is no sunlight, they have to use cellular respiration to produce energy.
What organelle produces most of the energy that is released during respiration?
The last two phases of cellular respiration, the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, take place in the mitochondria. This is the organelle where most of the ATP (energy) from respiration is released.
What is the energy producing sites in the cell?
The mitochondria are the "power houses" of the cell, releasing the energy from food during cellular respiration.
Where are the majorty of the APT'S produced during cellular respiration?
The majority of ATP molecules are produced in the mitochondria during aerobic cellular respiration, which can produce about 36 molecules of ATP. In contrast, anaerobic respiration, which occurs in the cytoplasm, produces a net gain of only 2 ATP molecules.
Where in the cell is pyruvate broken down?
Pyruvate oxidation occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria
What is produced by mitochondria during cellular respiration?
The main product is ATP.CO2 produced as a by product.
