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.
