| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cellular Respiration | Process in which glucose is broken down to create energy. It occurs in the mitochondria & releases CO2 and H2O as byproducts. |
| Equation for Cellular Respiration in Symbols and Words | Glucose+ oxygen------carbon dioxide + water + energy |
| Mitochondria | Organelle in eukaryotic cells where cellular respiration takes place, which creates ATP energy. |
| ATP | Adenosine TriphosPhate is the source of energy for use & storage at the cellular level. It’s created in the Mitochondria of all eukaryotes |
| ADP | Adenosine DiphosPhate (ADP) is the spent molecule of ATP. Has 2 phosphates and a lot less energy. |
| Aerobic Respiration | The process of producing cellular energy (ATP) involving Oxygen. |
| Anaerobic Respiration | A type of respiration that does not use oxygen. It is used when there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration |
