Link between ATP and energy
A
- The energy transferred by respiration can’t be used directly by cells
- Is instead used to make a substance called ATP
- ATP stores the energy needed for many cell processes
- when a cell needs energy, ATP is broken down and released
4
Q
Anaerobic respiration in plants word equation
A
glucose —> ethanol + carbon dioxide (+ energy)
5
Q
photosynthesis vs respiration
A
photosynthesis - carbon dioxide and water —> glucose and oxygen
respiration - glucose and oxygen —-> energy and water and co2
opposites :)
