Study Notes
Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
- The word equation is: Glucose + Oxygen → Energy (ATP) + Carbon Dioxide + Water
- The chemical equation is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP)
- This process occurs in the mitochondria.
Blood Vessel Arrangement
- Arteries carry oxygenated blood (except pulmonary artery) away from the heart and have thick muscular walls.
- Veins carry deoxygenated blood (except pulmonary veins) to the heart and have thinner walls and valves.
- Capillaries are tiny vessels where gases, nutrients, and waste products are exchanged.
