bio Flashcards
What is the process that releases energy from food for cellular use?
Cellular respiration
Cellular respiration is an aerobic process that involves the combination of glucose and oxygen.
What are the products of the overall chemical reaction in cellular respiration?
Water and carbon dioxide
These products are formed after the energy is released from food.
What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?
ATP is produced by converting ADP
ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell.
How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to the carbon cycle?
They are opposite processes that work together
Photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide while cellular respiration releases it.
What do plants do during photosynthesis?
Plants take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
This process converts carbon dioxide into glucose.
What do both plants and animals do during cellular respiration?
They return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere
This process releases energy for cellular functions.
Fill in the blank: Cellular respiration is an _____ process.
aerobic
Aerobic processes require oxygen to occur.
True or False: Cellular respiration and photosynthesis do not interact in the carbon cycle.
False
They are interconnected processes that influence carbon levels in the atmosphere.
