Study Notes

Cellular Respiration Overview

Metabolic processes utilized by organisms to extract energy from organic molecules.
Essential for converting biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Process Details

Takes place in the cells and tissues where energy is released during the breakdown of organic compounds.
Produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct, which is then absorbed by blood.

Transport Mechanism

Carbon dioxide transported by blood to the lungs for exhalation.
Crucial in maintaining the body's pH balance and overall homeostasis.

Importance of Cellular Respiration

Provides energy necessary for cellular functions and metabolic activities.
Supports growth, repair, and maintenance of cells and tissues.
