Cellular Respiration Notes

Cellular Respiration

  • Cellular respiration: Chemical process of breaking down glucose to release energy.
    • Aerobic: With oxygen.
    • Anaerobic: Without oxygen.

Aerobic Respiration

  • Requires oxygen.
  • Occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
  • Reactants: Oxygen and glucose.
  • Products: Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP energy.
  • Word equation: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP
