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.

635 Questions

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.

What is light energy and what does it do for cellular respiration?

Light energy does not affect respiration, but it is needed for photosynthesis, which in plants creates the chemical compounds (carbohydrates) that are oxidized in cellular respiration.

What organelle is the primary focus of cellular respiration?

The mitochondria is where two important steps, the Kreb's cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, of cellular respiration take place. This organelle is central in respiration and is often called "the powerhouse" of the cell.

Does a cell require mitochondria for active transport?

Active transportation needs energy.(ATP). ATP is produced by mitochondria

When o2 supply is inadequate pyuvate is converted to?

Pyruvate is converted to ethanol in alcohol fermentation.It is converted to lactic acid in lactic acid fermentation.

Why does cellular respiration depend on photosynthesis?

Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis

What is a product of cellular respiration and not feementation?

This cannot be answered correctly. You will have to give me some choices to chooses from.

What organelles undergo cellular respiration?

Mitochondria are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs.

What happens to oxygen when you breath it in?

When you breathe in oxygen you expel carbon dioxide, your bodies waste product. Your heart pumps blood from the right ventricle into the lungs where the CO2 (carbon dioxide) "jumps off" and the O2 (oxygen) "jumps on" the red blood cells. With the O2 being carried on little "handles" of the hemoglobin molecule of the red blood cells, it travels back into the heart from the lungs and is then pumped out into the body from the heart's left ventricle, through the aorta and into the body. The O2 is carried by the blood to every area and organ of the body, where it "nourishes" the cells. As the blood travels further from the heart and more waste builds, the CO2 content is higher than the O2 content and the CO2 waste is carried back to the heart by the blood, dumping its waste into the lungs and is then expelled in your breath. This gas exchange is made possible because of changes in pressure gradients.

How does cellular respiration help organism carry out their life processes?

i'm looling for the answer smartass ...... answers please .. for those normal people

Why is respiration important for cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is the process by which energy is released from food molecules and stored in molecules of ATP, the energy currency of the cell. Without ATP cells could not function.

Cellular respiration in sports and science?

In sports, cellular respiration is the process through which our body converts glucose and oxygen into energy to fuel muscle contractions during exercise. This process produces ATP, the energy currency of cells. In science, cellular respiration is a fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living organisms, breaking down organic molecules to release energy for cellular activities. It involves three main stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Why there more mitochondria in muscle cell than in most other cells in the body?

There are more mitochondria in muscle cell than in most other cells in the body because the muscles do more movement. This means that the muscles need more energy.

How does reaction for photosynthesis compare to the cellular respiration?

they are they same. the products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose and the reactants of cellular respiration are gluose and oxygen.
