Study Notes
Respiration in Organisms
- The primary purpose of respiration in organisms is to generate energy for the body's various activities.
Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose into energy.
- It occurs in the mitochondria and involves the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Aerobic Respiration
- Aerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that occurs in the presence of oxygen.
- The end product of aerobic respiration is ATP, water, and carbon dioxide.
