The carbon dioxide produced during respiration comes from the metabolism of sugar. Because sugar such as glucose has 6 carbon atoms - metabolism produces 6 Carbon dioxide molecules. (Note while I can get the subscript to work, I cannot get it to reverse so the chemical formula for sugar is incorrectly written as C6H12O6. The H and O should not be subscripted.)

What gas is produced when yeast respire anaerobically?

When yeast respires anaerobically it takes glucose (C6H12O6) and breaks it into ethanol, a small amount of energy, and two molecules of carbon dioxide gas (2CO2).


What is produced when a cell respires?

During cellular respiration, cells produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by breaking down glucose and oxygen. Additionally, carbon dioxide and water are produced as byproducts of this process.

Carbon dioxide is produced where in the cell?

Carbon dioxide is produced in the mitochondria of cells during the process of cellular respiration. Oxygen is used to break down glucose molecules, releasing energy, carbon dioxide, and water as byproducts.
