Cellular Respiration

Question 1

What is Cellular respiration?

Answer 1

Cellular Respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to produce ATP energy.

Question 2

What is ATP energy? & What is its use?

Answer 2

ATP energy is formally known as Adenosine Triphosphate, and its purpose is to provide the essential energy for a cell to perform all its respective functions.

Question 3

What types of organisms cellular respirate?

Answer 3

Both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic organisms cellular respirate.

Question 4

Where in the cell does cellular respiration take place?

Answer 4

Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.

Question 5

What are the two types of cellular respiration?

Answer 5

Aerobic respiration and Anaerobic respiration.

Question 6

What is the difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration?

Answer 6

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen, while anaerobic does not.

Question 7

What are the products of anaerobic respiration?

Answer 7

• Small amounts of ATP energy
• Lactic Acid (stiffens muscles)

Question 8

What are the products of aerobic respiration?

Answer 8

• Large amounts of ATP energy
• Water
• Carbon Dioxide

Question 9

What is the chemical equation for anaerobic respiration?

Answer 9

C6H12O6 —-> ATP + LATIC ACID

Question 10

What is the chemical equation for aerobic respiration?

Answer 10

C6H12O6 + 6O2 —-> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

                                  .
