cells burn food (break bonds) and release energy as what?
heat
Cells prefer to break down bonds GRADUALLY and use the stored energy to do what?
produce other compounds like ATP
in what cells does cellular respiration occur in?
ALL eukaryotic cells
What is the Cellular Respiration formula?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP
glucose oxygen carbon dioxide water energy
What is the cellular respiration formula in words?
one molecule of glucose reacts with six molecules of oxygen to produce six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water and one molecule of ATP
What are the 3 stages of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
The Krebs Cycle
Electron Transport Chain
a pathway of CR that requires oxygen is called what?
aerobic
Where does glycolysis take place?
cytoplasm
Where do the Krebs Cycle and the ETC take place?
mitochondrion matrix
What does photosynthesis do with energy?
deposits it back into the bonds of glucose
what does cellular respiration do with energy?
withdraws it breaking the bonds of glucose
what does photosynthesis do with carbon dioxide?
removes it from the atmosphere
what does CR do with CO2?
puts it back into the atmosphere
what does photosynthesis do with oxygen?
releases it into the atmosphere
what does CR do with oxygen?
takes it from the atmosphere and releases energy from food
What is glycolysis transformed into?
pyruvic acid
