Study Notes
Cellular Energy
- Cells need a constant energy supply for life processes but keep limited ATP.
- Cells regenerate ATP using energy from foods like glucose.
- Photosynthesis stores energy in glucose, but cellular respiration releases this energy, repackaging it into ATP.
Aerobic Respiration
- Requires oxygen.
- Occurs in the mitochondria.
- Produces 36 ATP molecules.
