|
Definition
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ENERGY Glucose + Oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + water + energy |
|
|
Term
define cellular respiration |
|
Definition
Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP. |
|
|
Term
What is the source for organic compounds to be used in cell respiration in plants, and animals? |
|
Definition
animals = food, plants = make it themselves in photosynthesis. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
a phosphate group is linked to adenosine diphosphate or ADP. |
|
|
Term
Where does the energy used in cellular respiration come from. |
|
Definition
the breakdown of organic compounds. |
|
|
Term
Name three activities what cells require enrgy for. |
|
Definition
Synthesizing large molecules (DNA, proteins), Pumping molecules across membranes by active transport, Moving things around inside the cell |
|
|
Term
why do cells require a continual source of ATP for cell activities. |
|
Definition
After ATP is used, it is converted to heat, which keeps an organism warm, but cannot be reused and is lost to the environment. |
|

|
Term
In what 3 situations is anaerobic respiration used. |
|
Definition
1. When a short but rapid burst of ATP production is needed. 2. When oxygen supplies run out in respiring cells. 3. In environments that are deficient in oxygen, for example waterlogged soils. |
