Cellular Respiration Study Guide
Identify cellular respiration as an energy-absorbing or energy-releasing chemical reaction.
Describe cellular respiration in terms of how it transforms energy.
Write the balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration.
List the reactants of cellular respiration.
Identify the MAIN product of cellular respiration.
List the waste products of cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration produces CO2 as a waste product. Explain where the carbon atoms in the CO2 come from.
Explain why all organisms – both autotrophs and heterotrophs – must perform cellular respiration.
