Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Food provides the strength to maintain-
Metabolism
ATP
Energetic molecule that transfers energy during chemical reactions in the cellular environment
Cellular respiration produces-
ATP from glucose through several oxidation and reduction reactions
Cellular respiration formula
C6H12O6+O2——>CO2+H2O+ATP
Anaerobic respiration
Cellular respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen
Aerobic respiration
Cellular respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen
Activity 1
Fermentation in yeast
Power plants of cells
Mitochondria
Mitochondria are enclosed by a
Double membrane
Activity 2
Aerobic cellular respiration in mitochondria
During respiration-
Cells capture energy that is stored in chemical compounds and transform it into usable forms
