Why do you need Cellular respiration if you already consume high-energy sugars through eating?
Cellular [biochemical] Respiration is the biochemical Process that takes the high energy sugars and runs them through the Kreb's Citric Acid cycle to produce the prodigious and ubiquitous Adenosine tri-phosphate - Atp - that is the Cells [almost exclusive] Energy Transfer Molecule.
What else can I help you with?
Is oxygen consumed when plants or animals perform aerobic cellular respiration?
Yes, both plants and animals consume oxygen when they perform aerobic cellular respiration.
Can all animal cells undergo cellular respiration?
yes, animals, by definition, consume food (carbs, lipids, proteins) so that they can break it down. carbs (specifically glucose) undergo oxidation to put its bond energy into ATP (adenosine tri phosphate).
What is the main way that your body obtains energy from the sun?
In Cellular Respiration, we get energy from the plants and animals we consume. So we indirectly obtain energy from the sun.
What does photosynthesis have that cellular respiration doesn't have?
Photosynthesis involves the use of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration, on the other hand, breaks down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. One key difference is that photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, while cellular respiration consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide.
What are two materials animals take in during cellular respiration?
During cellular respiration, animals primarily take in oxygen and glucose. Oxygen is essential for the process of aerobic respiration, allowing cells to produce energy, while glucose serves as the main source of chemical energy derived from the food they consume. Together, these materials enable cells to generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

What are the products of cellular resparation?
Cellular respiration is also known as oxidative metabolism. Carbon Dioxide and water is produced. But you have to consume oxygen and sugar.

Is glucose found in animals or plants?
Glucose is found in both plants and animals. Plants produce glucose by photosynthesis, and animals consume glucose (it is the first reactant for cellular respiration).
Where do cells primarily get this energy?
Cells primarily get energy from the food they consume, specifically from the glucose molecules extracted during the process of breaking down carbohydrates. This glucose is converted into ATP through cellular respiration, which is the primary source of energy for cellular functions.
What is the process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules?
The process that releases energy in the body is referred to as internal respiration and involves the ATP molecule. But food is not what takes part in this process, because the food needs to be digested, broken down, into glucose for the body to use it in releasing energy. That glucose can come from any of the three different food products we consume, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
Why would a cell need to do photosynthesis and cell respiration?
A cell needs to do photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy in the form of glucose. It then undergoes cell respiration to break down glucose and release stored energy for cellular processes. Together, photosynthesis and cell respiration maintain the cell's energy balance for growth, maintenance, and reproduction.
In what way is photosynthesis and cellular respiration interdependent processes?
the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis requires CO2 (carbon dioxide) organisms that are heterotrophs, like us, which cannot produce their own food consume autotrophs like plants, which do produce their own food. a by-product of cellular respiration is CO2 a by-product of photosynthesis is O2 organisms like us need O2 to live organisms like plants need CO2 to live (and to support us in life--we eat them because they have sugar [i.e., glucose])
What is the purpose of cellular respiration in a living organism?
go and ask your Biology teacher as she'll know better or come to my school and ask Mrs *****. can't mention her name.
