What substances are required for cellular respiration?
oxygen and water are the substances needed for cellular respiration to take place
What does the term biomass fuel mean?
Organic matter convertible into heat, directly by burning or indirectly by biogastification
What chemical compound do cells use for energy?
ATP, adenosine triphosphate.
How is the combustion of propane similar to cellular respiration?
If the combustion of propane isn't getting enough oxygen it is incomplete and it would be a smokey yellow flame. For humans we depend on chemical potential energy from plants and animals. Propane combustion and cellular respiration are different because propane combustion depends on oxygen to fuel it and humans depend on chemical potential energy to fuel themselves.
What are the disadvantages of using organic compounds?
Hydrocarbons are one of the Earth's most important energy resources. The predominant use of hydrocarbons is as a combustible fuel source. Mixtures of volatile hydrocarbons are now used in preference to the chlorofluorocarbons as a propellant for aerosol sprays, due to chlorofluorocarbons impact on the ozone layer. Hydrocarbons are currently the main source of the world's electric energy and heat sources (such as home heating) because of the energy produced when burnt. Often this energy is used directly as heat such as in home heaters, which use either oil or natural gas. The hydrocarbon is burnt and the heat is used to heat water, which is then circulated. A similar principle is used to create electric energy in power plants. As methane only releases one carbon dioxide for two water molecules, it is considered the cleanest fuel.
How does decomposition relate to cellular respiration?
The same chemical reaction is occurring in both cellular respiration and decomposition. An organic compound such as glucose is used as fuel to run cellular respiration.
What type of organic molecules is the preferred energy source for a cell?
The organic compound that is the main fuel supply for cellular work is sugar. The cells metabolize glucose to provide their energy.
What are 3 organic compounds in cellular respiration?
The role of organic compounds in cellular respiration is to start cellular respiration. Cellular Respiration is a process that creates ATP. So, in order to create ATP you'll need organic compounds. Organic Compounds are converted into ATP during Cellular Respiration. This is the role of organic compound in cellular respiration.
Which is not a fuel supply for energy in cellular metabolism?
Coal.
Which organic compound is the main fuel supporting respiration?
Glucose (C6H1206)
What are the carbon reactants for combustion reaction?
A fuel(generally an organic compound), and Oxygen
Plants use sugars as?
fuel for cellular respiration and a starting material for making other organic molecules
Why carbon dioxide exists?
Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration and is a fuel for photosynthesis, so it is actually a rather important compound.
Is motor oil a organic compound?
Yes, a motor oil contain many organic compounds.
What of the function of sugar?
To give you energy and boost you after you lose energy, that is why energy drinks are full of sugarthe main fuel supply for cellular work
What is dme a fuel?
Dimethyl ether (DME) is the organic compound with the formula CH3OCH3. The simplest ether, it is a colourless gas that is a useful precursor to other organic compounds and an aerosol propellant. Dimethyl ether is also promising as a clean-burning hydrocarbon fuel.
What is reactants and products of complete combustion?
reactants: an element and oxygen products: the oxide of the element
