Cellular respiration 1
What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
Make Energy
Reactants of cellular respiration
glucose and oxygen
What builds up in muscle cells during strenuous exercise.
lactic acid
This is the overall process by which plants make their own food using sunlight.
Photosynthesis
This organ pumps blood throughout the body.
heart
Opposite of cell respiration
photosynthesis
Process that does not require oxygen
anaerobic respiration
Why do athletes breathe heavily after running?
to take in more oxygen and release carbon dioxide
The gas plants take in for photosynthesis.
This organ filters blood and removes liquid waste.
kidneys
What are the inputs for cellular respiration?
oxygen and glucose
What is the chemical formula for glucose?
C6H12O6
The form in which your weight leaves your body when you lose weight
carbon dioxide and water
This gas is released when water is split during the light reactions.
oxygen
This organ controls voluntary and involuntary actions in the body.
brain
What is the purpose of ATP?
gives us energy
Glucose + Oxygen → ______ + ______ + Energy (ATP)
carbon dioxide and water
Why is aerobic respiration preferred to anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration releases more ATP
The sugar produced during photosynthesis.
glucose
The heart and blood vessels are part of this system.
circulatory system
The overall equation of cellular respiration
O2 + Glucose -> CO2 + H2O + ATP
The gas required for aerobic cellular respiration.
oxygen
A student says, “Plants don’t do cellular respiration.” Is this true or false?
False
Explain why photosynthesis helps regulate Earth’s atmosphere.
Plants remove CO₂ and release oxygen, helping balance gases.
The lungs belong to this system.
