Question 1

What is cellular respiration?

Answer 1

The biochemical process of cells releasing energy from chemical bonds of the oxidised food molecules to produce energy essential processes of life

Question 2

What is the equation of cellular respiration?

Answer 2

Glucose + Oxygen > Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy

Question 3

How does the respiratory system contribute to cellular respiration?

Answer 3

The respiratory system provides the cells with oxygen and excrete Carbon Dioxide through the alveoli

Question 4

How does the circulatory system contribute towards cellular respiration?

Answer 4

The circulatory system provides the cells with the given glucose and oxygen via the bloodstream

Question 5

How does the respiratory system and circulatory system work together to make cellular respiration?

Answer 5

The blood the circulatory system is responsible for requires to be oxygenated, to be able to send the glucose and its provide oxygen to the cells. The heart pumps the deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary artery, to the lungs, and back to the heart through the pulmonary vein
