Cellular Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
What is cellular respiration?
A
Process of cells making energy
Cells breakdown glucose and oxygen to make ATP (energy), water, and carbon dioxide
2
Q
What is the byproduct of making energy?
A
A byproduct of making energy is water and carbon dioxide.
We breathe out the carbon dioxide and water vapor.
3
Q
What organelle does cellular respiration occur in?
A
Mitochondria break down glucose to make energy (ATP)
4
Q
What types of cells do cellular respiration?
A
Plant and animal cells
5
Q
What is the cellular respiration equation?
A
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → ATP + 6 H2O + 6 CO2
Sugar/glucose + oxygen -> ATP + Water+ Carbon dioxide
6
Q
What are the reactants?
A
Glucose and oxygen
7
Q
What are the products?
A
ATP, water and carbon dioxide
