Cellular Respiration

Mitochondria are sometimes called the "powerhouses" of the cell. The energy is released by combining food with oxygen, in a process called aerobic respiration. The oxygen from the food is needed to help the cell move and grow.

No, animals breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide. Plants breath in carbon dioxide and breath out or release oxygen, this also includes algae which is a type of plant.

Mitochondria, is the part of the cell which converts oxygen into energy. It is the site of respiration in the cell and it produces energy so that the cell can carry out its basic functions. The end product it forms is ATP or Adenosine Tri-phosphate.

The red blood cells in our body do not have a mitochondria which ensures that the energy is transferred to the particular body part and is not absorbed by the RBC itself.

• Microsporidia Giardia lamblia Entamoeba histolytica. Trichomonas vaginalis.

This part of cellular respiration is called Glycolysis.

oxygen gas

What happens to the high-energy electrons held by NADH if there is no oxygen present?

Enzyme ATPase is involved. It binds ADP and Pi

All the ATP in the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation is produced by the enzyme ATP synthase enzyme which phosphorylate ADP with a phosphate by using the proton gradient across the membrane.

The organelle is mitochondria.

2 ATP molecules

Energy in glucose is released. That energy is stored in ATP

Photosynthesis make glucose and glucose is used by mitochondria. That is the reason

Oxygen to accept the electrons from the electron transport chain during oxidative phosphorylation.

If you write this as a balanced chemical equation, water will form as a result. You must account, in other words, for all the elements.

Energized electrons are carried by NADH and FADH2 from glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to electron acceptors embedded in the cristae of the mitochondrion.
As electrons are shuttled along a chain of electron-accepting molecules in the cristae, their energy is used to pump accompanying protons (H+) into the space between mitochondrial membranes. This produces energy stored in ATP.

Carbon dioxide.

while respiration implies air, fermentation is an anaerobic (no oxygen) process.

What is the difference between breathing and respiration?

Both breathing and respiration are required for all living organisms. Generally, breathing and respiration are often considered the same. However, there is a great difference between these two words.

Breathing is a constant process where you breathe in and out constantly through out the day. It is a process of taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide.

Respiration is a process where the body breaks down the oxygen, so that the cells in the body can use it. It is a part of metabolic process also known as catabolic process of a cellular activity where energy molecule is released while carbon dioxide and water are produced.

Breathing is a physical process and respiration is a chemical process. Breathing is a process of taking oxygen into the lungs while respiration is taking the oxygen from the lungs into the blood stream or to the cells.

uses energy

Glucose is the primary raw material / reactant required to generate pyruvate, which is then used in the Krebs cycle. In the process of cellular respiration, oxygen is introduced into the Krebs cycle to generate NADPH and ATP for energy for cells.

Carbohydrates are made in photosynthesis. it is burning in the cellular respiration.

Cyanide blocks the last step in the production of ATP. The binding of cyanide to cytochrome c oxidase prevents transport of electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen. No ATP will be produced. The central nervous system and the heart are the most to be affected. Death can occur in minutes.
