    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.
