Cellular Respiration Ch. 4.4 - 4.6

Cellular Respiration:

  • Cellular Respiration: The process of breaking down food (sugars) into ATP.

Aerobic Respiration-

  • Aerobic Respiration is the breakdown of food using Oxygen.

  • Aerobic Respiration begins in the cytoplasm.

  • Aerobic Respiration finishes in the mitochondria.

    • Cristae: Folds in mitochondria to increase surface area

      • The function of the mitochondria is aerobic respiration, which is the most efficient way to get energy from food.
