How do Cells perform cellular respiration?

Answer 1

Cellular respiration allows organisms to use (release) energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose (C6H12O6). The energy in glucose is used to produce ATP. Cells use ATP to supply their energy needs. Cellular respiration is therefore a process in which the energy in glucose is transferred to ATP.

In respiration, glucose is oxidized and thus releases energy. Oxygen is reduced to form water.

The carbon atoms of the sugar molecule are released as carbon dioxide (CO2).

The complete breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water requires two major steps: 1) glycolysis and 2) aerobic respiration. Glycolysis produces two ATP. Thirty-four more ATP are produced by aerobic pathways if oxygen is present.

In the absence of oxygen, fermentation reactions produce alcohol or lactic acid but no additional ATP.

Answer 2

Animal cells undergo aerobic cellular respiration in four stages: glycolysis, formation of acetyl CoA, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis and the formation of acetyl CoA occur in the cytoplasm, and the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain occur in the mitochondria.

Answer 3

Cells perform cellular respiration by breaking down glucose into energy in the form of ATP, which stands for adenosine triphosphate. This process occurs in the mitochondria of the cell and involves several steps, including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Oxygen is required as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to produce ATP efficiently.

THERE ARE TWO MAIN RAW MATERIALS. They are glucose and oxygen
