Cellular Respiration
What is Cellular Respiration?
A set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules to adenosine triphosphate and release waste products
What is Mitosis?
A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and chromosomes as the parent nucleus
What is Photosynthesis?
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
What is the purpose for Cellular Respiration?
The main purpose of Cellular Respiration i that it goes through a process which cells convert sugar into energy
What is the purpose of Mitosis?
The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells
Why is Photosynthesis important?
It is important to living organisms because it is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere
What are the 3 things made during Cellular Respiration?
This three-stage process involves glucose and oxygen reacting to form carbon dioxide and water
What are the stages for Mitosis?
Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase/Cytokinesis
Who found the formula for photosynthesis?
Jan Baptist Van Helmont
What is the waste product of Cellular Respiration?
The waste products that Cellular Respiration gets rid of is carbon dioxide and water
How does Mitosis help us grow?
The process of mitosis generates new cells that are genetically identical to each other which mitosis helps organisms to grow in size and repair damaged tissues
Does Photosynthesis help us?
Yes, it provides us with fresh oxygen to breathe in made by the plants
What happens after Cellular Respiration?
In the process of Cellular Respiration, a glucose molecule is a gradually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Also some ATP is produced directly in the reactions that transform glucose
What would happen without Mitosis?
If there was no mitosis, there would be no cell growth and cell reproduction. Also all cell functions would be hugely affected
What is the Photosynthesis Formula?
6CO2+6H2O-> C6H12O6+6O2
