Cellular Energy - Equation for Cellular Resperation

Question 1

cellular respiration

Answer 1

• ALL cells do cellular respiration (plant, animal, and all other living things)
• The process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.
• Takes place in the mitochondria.
• If you look at this equation compared to photosynthesis you will notice that it is the opposite. The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration.

Question 2

mitochondria

Answer 2

• Outer membrane
• Inner membrane (folded into cristae)
• Matrix
• The space inside the inner membrane.
• Inner membrane space
• The space between the outer membrane and the inner membrane.​​
