1. Cellular Respiration
Cellular Respiration is the process used by living organisms to convert carbohydrates (sugar) in to usable energy (ATP)
All living organisms must be able to make this conversion to power their cells.
This is also one of the 7 characteristics of all living things.

2. Chemical Equation C=Carbon, H=Hydrogen, O=Oxygen
C6H12O6 + 6O CO2 + 6H2O +ATP
Carbon Dioxide
Usable Energy
Sugar
Oxygen
Water
Reactants
Products

3. WHATS GOING ON?
In this reaction Sugar is being pulled apart and reformed into smaller molecules.
Oxygen must be present for this to happen.
The waste products of the process are CO2 and water.
The product of ATP is the molecule that powers cells.
