Cellular Respiration The Life Function of Cellular Respiration involves the chemical processes that transfer energy stored in food to energy that can be used by cells
Energy Transfer Energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose is transferred to energy in the form of ATP ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the only kind of energy cells can use
Which Organisms Carry Out Cellular Respiration?
Nutrition Provides the Glucose!
Heterotrophs (eat other things) Ingest starch and other carbohydrates and digest (hydrolyze) them into glucose
Autotrophs (make own food) Plants, trees, algae and other autotrophs use photosynthesis to make their own glucose. Photosynthesis organelle is the chloroplast Then, the autotrophs carry out cellular respiration to make ATP energy Cell organelles for cellular respiration - mitochondria
2 Styles (kinds) of Cellular Respiration Aerobic Cellular Respiration Anaerobic Cellular Respiration
Aerobic Cellular Respiration Aerobic Cellular Respiration uses oxygen
Anaerobic Cellular Respiration No oxygen is used
Aerobic Cellular Respiration Equation – KNOW THIS!! Can you Identify the reactants and the products of this chemical process (reaction)?
