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.

What is the similarity and the major difference between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

photosnthesis is a process producers use to make theyre own food

  • happens only in producers
  • happens in chlorplasts
  • only happens during daylight

requires:

  1. sun
  2. carbon dixoxide
  3. water

produces:

  1. sugar (glucose)
  2. oxygen

respiration is a process that consumers use to release energy from the food they eat

  • happens in all living things
  • begins in the cytoplasm & ends in the mitochondria
  • can happen any time

requires:

  1. food (glucose)
  2. oxygen

produces:

  1. lots of energy
  2. carbon dioxide
  3. water

fermentation is a process that releases energy from food when ther is not enough oxygen for respiration to hapen

  • happens in cytoplasm
  • only happens in consumers

requires:

  1. food

produces:

  1. less energy
  2. lactic acid
  3. alcohol
  4. carbon dioxide

this process is also used to make bread, cheese, yogurt, and alcoholic beverages.

respiration is almost exactly opposite photosynthesis and the same as fermentation eccept fermentation doesnt use oxygen.

What reaction takes pace in the mitochondria and what are the reactants and products?

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.

Which group of protist lack mitochondria?

  • Microsporidia Giardia lamblia Entamoeba histolytica. Trichomonas vaginalis.

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

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

What In respiration releases most of the energy from glucose in the form of ATP inside this organelle.?

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.

In order for cells to produce the MOST energy what gas should be present?

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

Why water is expelled during glycolsis?

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.

How does the cell use the charge differences to build up across the inner mitochondrial membrane during cellular respiration?

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.

What’s the difference between breathing and respiration?

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.

What is the relationship between cellular respiration and glucose?

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.

How does cyanide and DNP work on 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.

What is the antonym for cellular respiration?

The antonym for cellular respiration is photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants and other organisms convert sunlight into energy. While cellular respiration releases energy by breaking down food molecules, photosynthesis uses energy to build food molecules.

Can an organism carry out cellular respiration without photosynthesis how about photosynthesis without cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is possible without photosynthesis in an organism but photosynthesis is not possible without cellular respiration.
