Cellular Respiration

Cellular Respiration is the series of metabolic reactions that takes place in a cell that harvests chemical energy. The energy is converted from the stored chemical energy in molecules to the stored energy in ATP.

How photosynthesis and cellular respiration interact in a plant cell?

The products of photosynthesis are used as the reactants for cellular respiration, and vice versa.

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to create organic molecules and oxygen (O2).

In turn, cellular respiration takes those two products (oxygen and organic molecules) to create carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

What are glucose and oxygen converted into in aerobic respiration?

It really depends on if its aerobic(with oxygen) or anaerobic(without oxygen) respiration.

In aerobic respiration carbon dioxide, water and energy are made

In anaerobic respiration lactic acid and energy are made.

What are the three stages process in the cellular respiration?

The three stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the electron transport chain. The first stage happens in the cytoplasm while the last two occurs in the mitochondria.

What is the path of a carbon atom through the process of cellular respiration?

During photosynthesis, a plant is able to convert solar energy into chemical form, using its energy to help build a sugar molecule called Glucose. Thus, during photosynthesis, a plant consumes water, carbon dioxide and light energy, and produces glucose and oxygen which is then necessary for cellular respiration, which is when the chemical energy in the glucose molecule is converted into a form that the plant can use for growth and reproduction. It's all a cycle!

In way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration alike?

Both use electrons carriers and a cycle of chemical reactions to form ATP.

What is the process that cellular respiration happen in cells?

The process of cellular respiration has three main stages.

The first is glycolysis, in which glucose is split into two molecules. ATP, pyruvic acid, and NADH are all produced during this process.

The second stage is the citric acid cycle. This occurs after the two molecules of glucose (resulting after the split) are converted into a compound called acetyl CoA. Through a series of steps, NAD and FAD compounds as well as ATP molecules are produced, and the NAD and FAD are reduced. These reduced forms carry high energy electrons to the next stage.

This third and final stage is known as electron transport. An electron transport chain is made up of electron carriers in the membrane of the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. Through multiple reactions, the high energy electrons are passed to oxygen, and ATP is produced.

Is starch used in cellular respiration?

can be changed into glucose and used in cellular respiration.

How is cellular respiration used in carbon cycle?

Animals produce carbon dioxide. Animals produce carbon dioxide

The products in cellular respiration are?

The balanced equation is
C₆Hâ‚â‚‚O₆ + 6Oâ‚‚ → 6COâ‚‚ + 6Hâ‚‚O + energyThe equation expressed in words would be as noted below...glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy.the products in cellular respiration in the chemical equation are :
carbon Dioxide , water and lots of heat in the form of energy.

What happens to the ATP after it binds to the protein?

After the ATP passes the high-energy phosphate to the target, it then becomes less energized ADP or adenosine diphosphate. ADP then goes back and becomes re-energized.

Where does the water go in cellular respiration?

Water loss occurs during gas exchange because animals and plants both contain more water than the surrounding air. In animals the animals, the lung saturates the air expelled with water which largely escapes into the atmosphere. Some animals can minimize loss through adaptations in the nasal passages that rescue some of the water that would otherwise be lost.

Explain why muscles must use lactic acid fermentation instead of cellular respiration during intense physical activity?

Because mammalian muscle cells are genetically programmed to perform lactic acid fermentation, not ethanol fermentation.

How does the first law of thermodynamics relate to photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Yes, it is. The first law says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, just changed from one form to another. It is fairly obvious that the growth of a plant requires some input of energy to make it happen. Photosynthesis takes energy from the sun and converts it into energy used to make the plant grow as well as providing the energy that is stored in the chemical bonds of the plant.

What is sugar called in cellular respiration?

It comes from food that the organism ate. Either from eating glucose it is a form of sugar or from eating other foods that are eventually broken down into sugar.

How is energy produced in cellular respiration?

Glycolysis:

A cell can harvest energy from food by cellular respiration. Both start with the same first step: the process of glycolysis which is the breakdown or splitting of glucose (6 carbons) into two 3-carbon molecules called pyruvic acid. The energy from other sugars, such as fructose, is also harvested using this process. Glycolysis is probably the oldest known way of producing ATP. There is evidence that the process of glycolysis predates the existence of O2 in the Earth's atmosphere and organelles in cells:

* Glycolysis does not need oxygen as part of any of its chemical reactions. It serves as a first step in a variety of both aerobic and anaerobic energy-harvesting reactions.

* Glycolysis happens in the cytoplasm of cells, not in some specialized organelle.

* Glycolysis is the one metabolic pathway found in all living organisms.

How would glucose shortage be affected by cellular respiration?

Insulin is a hormone that is central to regulating carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver,muscle, and fat tissue to take up glucose from the blood, storing it as glycogen in the liver and muscle.

Insulin stops the use of fat as an energy source by inhibiting the release of glucagon. When insulin is absent, glucose is not taken up by body cells and the body begins to use fat as an energy source or gluconeogenesis; for example, by transfer of lipids fromadipose tissue to the liver for mobilization as an energy source. As its level is a central metabolic control mechanism, its status is also used as a control signal to other body systems (such as amino acid uptake by body cells). In addition, it has several otheranabolic effects throughout the body.

Do cellular respiration and fermentation both harvest energy from sugars?

Yes, they both create ATP. The difference is, cellular respiration creates 36 ATP molecules and fermentation only creates 2 ATP molecules.

Do autotrophs need to carry out cellular respiration?

yes

Autotrophs produce glucose using sun light energy. This energy later released by respiration
