Study Notes
Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration breaks down food molecules (usually glucose) into carbon dioxide and water.
- The chemical equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6H2O + 6CO2.
- This is the reverse of photosynthesis.
- Cellular respiration produces ATP, used for energy in all cellular processes.
- Cellular respiration is a redox reaction, as glucose loses an electron.
