Study Notes
Cellular Respiration Summary
- The purpose of cellular respiration is to release energy from glucose to make ATP.
- All living organisms perform cellular respiration.
- Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria.
- The process of cellular respiration involves breaking down glucose to create energy.
- Energy is stored in chemical bonds in food molecules like glucose.
- Glucose is the main energy source for cells.
Cell Organelles and Body Systems
- Digestive System: Breaks down food into smaller molecules, such as glucose.
- Respiratory System: Takes in oxygen, which is used in cellular respiration.
- Circulatory System: Transports glucose and oxygen to cells and removes carbon dioxide and water.
- Mitochondria: The site of cellular respiration, where ATP is produced.
- Cytoplasm: The site where glucose is broken down into smaller molecules.
- Nucleus: Tells the cell when to perform cellular respiration.
- Cell Membrane: Controls what enters and exits the cell.
Cellular Respiration Formula
- Reactants: Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2)
- Products: Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water (H2O), and ATP (energy).
