Basics of Cell Resp
This is the main molecule cells break down during cellular respiration.
What is Glucose
This first step occurs in the cytoplasm and breaks glucose into smaller pieces.
what is glycolsis
Energy in glucose originally comes from this source.
sun
Glucose can be broken down and rebuilt into these molecules that create body structures.
amino acids or i will also accept proteins or dna
Oxygen (O₂) is used in the electron transport chain to form this final product.
energy from electrons and h2o as a byproduct
These three products are released at the end of cellular respiration.
atp co2 and h20
This cycle occurs in the mitochondria and releases CO₂ while transferring energy to carrier
krebs cycle
This law states energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
law of conservation of mass
Multiple amino acids linked together make these important biological molecules.
proteins
Carbon atoms from glucose leave the body as this molecule we exhale.
co2
Your body consumes more of this gas while exercising
o2
This stage produces the most ATP using oxygen across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
etc
Instead of “disappearing,” the atoms in glucose become these two waste products.
h20 and c02
Mrs. Matthias has moved this many times
23
The oxygen you breathe is used mainly for this part of cellular respiration.
what is the etc
The main purpose of cellular respiration is to release this type of usable energy for the cell.
atp
This gas is needed for the electron transport chain to work properly.
o2
In cellular respiration, energy moves but matter cycles. Explain:
Energy becomes ______, while atoms become ______.
Energy becomes ATP; atoms become new molecules like CO₂ and H₂O.
Explain how glucose supports protein building even though it isn’t protein.
It provides carbon and energy needed to build amino acids, which are then linked to make proteins.
Describe where each atom from glucose goes:
Carbon → ______
Hydrogen → ______
Oxygen → ______
Carbon → CO₂
Hydrogen → water
Oxygen → water
