Cell Respiration: Part 1 : Overview Flashcards
1
Q
What is Cell Respiration?
A
Cell Respiration is a series of oxidative reactions by which cells gradually receive energy from glucose and transfer it to the molecules of ATP (adenine triphosphate).
2
Q
What is the function of the energy stored in ATP?
A
The energy is immediately available for cellular activities such as muscle contraction.
3
Q
What is the complete aerobic respiration of one molecule of glucose formula?
A
C6H12O6 + 6O2——–> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
