25
Factors Affecting Rate of Photosynthesis
Temperature light intensity co2 level water minerals
26
Organisms harvest energy to power up their life processes by breaking down organic molecules from food.
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
27
the type of respiration through which cells can break down sugars to generate energy in the absence of oxygen.
anaerobic respiration
27
Uses oxygen to produce ATP
Aerobic Respiration
28
The last step in cellular respiration, takes place in the inner membrane of the
mitochondria
29
is a process by which one glucose molecule (a six carbon compound) is broken down
Glycolysis
