Cellular Respiration
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is cellular respiration? | The process by which animal cells obtain energy from glucose |
Explain the process of cellular respiration using steps or stages | During cellular respiration, cells break down glucose and other molecules from food in the presence of oxygen, releasing energy |
Where does step 1 occur? | Occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell |
What happens to the glucose in stage 1? | Glucose is broken down into smaller molecules |
Where does step 2 take place? | Takes place in the mitochondria |
What happens to the glucose in stage 2? | The smaller molecules are broken down even more |
What is released during the second stage? | Releases a great deal of energy (ATP), water, and carbon dioxide |
Cellular respiration equation in words? | In the cytoplasm, glucose is broken down into smaller molecules, releasing small amounts of energy Stage 2: In the mitochondria, the smaller molecules react, producing carbon dioxide water and large amounts of energy |
Products of cellular respiration | water, carbon dioxide, and ATP |
Reactants of cellular respiration | glucose, Oxygen |
What is fermentation? | Fermentation is an energy releasing process that does not require oxygen |
What are 2 ypes of fermentation? | Fermentation is an energy releasing process that does not require oxygen |
Where does cellular respiration take place? | Mitochondria |
