Summary- Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell.The process occurs in two phases:
glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid
the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water
Questions- What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration? C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
What organelles are involved in this process?
Some biochemical pathways that produce very little ATP occur in the cytoplasm
Other pathways that produce a great deal of ATP occur in the mitochondrion
List three things you learned from this article in your own words. mitochondrion has much to do with cellular respiration, makes energy for cell, cytoplasm also makes ATP
What impact would the absence of this process have on the biosphere?
