Cellular Respiration

heterotrophs eat other organisms because they can not make their own food. so they obtain their energy by braking down their food to a simpler state through the process of respiration so yes heterotrophs preform respiration

It form chemical energy i.e. ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate)

Producers and consumers break down carbohydrates release CO2 into the air

6C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 34ATP

The equation shown above is the chemical equation of aerobic cellular respiration. It takes in a complex sugar, glucose, and breaks it down in order to harvest its stored up energy.

O2 is required for aerobic respiration to take place. Aerobic respiration is required to make ATP. ATP is required in a very large number of biological processes. If there is no ATP, then these processes cannot take place (almost every biological process uses ATP at some point).

The process is known as cellular respiration. Cellular respiration releases ATP which is the universal energy molecule. It takes place in three main parts (with the link reaction in between):

1. Glycolysis - glucose is broken down into pyruvate/pyruvic acid

2. Link reaction

3. Krebs Cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle) - extensive rearrangement of the compounds take place here with carbon dioxide produced as a byproduct.

4. Electron Transport Chain (also known as the Hydrogen Transport Chain) - the 'excited' electron of the hydrogen atom is "bounced" and received by the oxygen atom receptor at the other end.

During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down into energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through a series of chemical reactions. The energy released from the breakdown of glucose is used by the cell to perform various functions such as muscle contraction, active transport, and biochemical reactions. It is a vital process that provides the necessary energy for cellular activities to occur.

the waste product of cellular respiration is carbon di oxide..

on the surface of plants we find small openings known as stomata through which it gets diffused in the atmosphere

Provide a large surface area for the electron transport chain and the ATP synthase which are all located in these folds of the inner membrane.

The similarity is they both will make ATP (energy) as a product though the alcohol fermentation makes very less.

No, fermentation is another form of respiration. It occurs when there is no final acceptor for the electrons in the transport chain. The opposite process of cellular respiration is photosynthesis because it builds up the molecules that respiration breaks down.

Energy produced in photosynthesis is put into usable form through cellular respiration. They are both ways cells gain energy. In photosynthesis, cells use solar energy to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. In cellular respiration, cells make ATP (which is used as energy by the cells) and consume oxygen during the conversion of glucose to carbon dioxide and water.

Keep in mind that this is a general formula, it is far more complex than this.

Digestion is the process of breaking down food into usable materials, and is one function of the digestive system. The other function, absorption, makes these materials available to all cells in the body.

Carbon dioxide, water, and energy are made during cellular respiration. However, as energy is not a substance, and cannot be made, it is more accurate to say it is released.

The naming and classification of living organisms is called taxonomy. It begins with the wide classification called genus an a smaller one called species. Our classification is Homo sapiens.

Aerobic cellular respiration can be broken down into three main steps: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and the electron transport chain coupled with oxidative phosphorylation.

1)Glycolysis occurs in the presence or absence of oxygen and is when glucose is broken down. This occurs in the cytoplasm. The result of glycolysis is two molecules of ATP, pyruvate, and NADH.

2)Before the second main step begins, the pyruvate undergoes oxidization in the mitochondria and is converted into Acetyl-CoA. NADH gains electrons and carbon is lost, which forms CO2.

3)The second step is the citric acid cycle or TCA cycle or Krebs cycle. This complex cycle results in two carbon dioxide molecules, one GTP/ATP, and reduced forms of NADH and FADH2.

4)The last main portion of cellular respiration is oxidative phosphorylation. Electrons from NADH and FADH2 are transferred through the membrane of the mitochondria. When hydrogen ions come back across the membrane, ATP is synthesized though what is called the ATP synthase complex.

Since some organisms are able to switch metabolic pathways depending on if oxygen is available they have an adaptive advantage. For other organisms if there is no oxygen then there is no respiration.

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])

The process of cellular respiration converts different types of nutrient energy into adenosine triphosphate, more commonly known as ATP. The nutrient energy comes from carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.

All of the steps make ATP, but the one that makes the most is the third step, electron transport
