Topic 2 The Cell Systems Lesson 6 Cellular Respiration
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is cellular respiration? | the process in which oxygen and glucose are broken down to release energy |
What are the reactants of cellular respiration? | glucose and oxygen |
What are the products of cellular respiration? | carbon dioxide, water and ATP (energy) |
What is the role of mitochondria during cellualr respiration? | it creates large amounts of energy |
Explain how its structure helps the mitochondria? | its folds provide larger surface area, so that more chemical reactions can occur |
Compare photosynthesis and cellular respiration. | opposite processes; one cycles into the next; only plants use photosynthesis; all organisms use cellular respiration |
What is fermentation? | it is the release of energy without oxygen |
Where is alcoholic fermentation seen? | in live yeast cells and other unicellular organisms |
What is lactic acid fermentation? | it is when your body breaks down glucose without the use of oxygen |
