Do you think plant cells and animal cells behave in the same way regarding cell energy?

Cellular Respiration Cellular Respiration – the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food; a chemical process that occurs in cells “Respiration” in this sense is the provider of oxygen for the cell; the cell is not actually breathing Takes place mostly in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells

Cellular Respiration Formula Reactants Reactants Products C6H12O6 + 6O2  (ATP) 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy Do you notice anything familiar about this equation?

Photosynthesis & Respiration Reactants Each process makes the materials that are needed for the other process to occur. It is a cycle; carbon cycle

Energy From Food Reactants Fermentation – the breakdown of food without the use of oxygen When you are running or working out and feel a burning pain in your legs? This is the result of fermentation. Your cells can’t get the necessary oxygen needed for cellular respiration, so they use fermentation to get that energy; produces lactic acid
