    Study Notes

    Cellular Respiration

    • All organisms are composed of cells, the smallest structural and functional units.
    • Cells perform various functions, including nutrition, transport, excretion, and reproduction, all requiring energy.
    • Food stores energy released during respiration.
    • Organisms respire to obtain energy from food.
    • During respiration, organisms breathe in oxygen-rich air and breathe out carbon dioxide-rich air.
    • Air is transported to cells where oxygen helps break down food.
    • Cellular respiration is the process of food breakdown in cells, releasing energy.
    • This process occurs in all cells.
    • Aerobic respiration uses oxygen; glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
    • Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen; glucose is broken down into alcohol, carbon dioxide, and energy.
    • Some organisms, like yeast, are anaerobes and survive without oxygen through anaerobic respiration.
