Cellular respiration
The process that makes ATP (adenosine triphosphate) by extracting energy from glucose.
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate, the energy carrier molecule used to power cellular activities.
Aerobic cellular respiration
A process that involves a series of chemical reactions using glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.
Glucose
A simple sugar molecule used by cells to produce ATP.
Oxygen
A gas inhaled by organisms that is essential for aerobic cellular respiration.
Carbon dioxide
A waste product exhaled by organisms, released during cellular respiration.
Mitochondria
Cell organelles where aerobic cellular respiration occurs.
Energy carrier molecule
A molecule like ATP that cells use to store and transport energy.
Active transport
The movement of substances across a cell membrane against a concentration gradient, powered by ATP.
Photosynthesis
The process by which plants produce oxygen and glucose, which are used in cellular respiration.
