​Cellular Respiration

​ Cellular Respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions.

​ An example of cellular respiration in plants is the use of photoautotrophic processes to obtain the glucose needed for cellular respiration.

​Cellular Respiration

​Cellular Respiration occurs in both plants and animals

​ Cellular Respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of each cell of the body

​Cellular Respiration

​ Cellular respiration makes ATP energy to support other reactions in the body







The energy produced is needed to reproduce and survive

​Cellular Respiration

​Henneguya Salminicola is an organism that does not need Cellular Respiration

​The Henneguya Salminicola has evolved to become an anaerobic metabolizer

​Cellular Respiration

The equation for Cellular Respiration: ​C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 --> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP

​ Cellular Respiration uses glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate

​Cellular Respiration

​Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose

​ Cellular Respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide

​Cellular Respiration

​Cellular Respiration needs glucose and oxygen to function

​ Photosynthesis needs sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide

​Cellular Respiration

​The main source for Cellular Respiration is glucose

​A glucose molecule is broken down into carbon dioxide and water

​Cellular Respiration

​Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts

​The 3 stages of aerobic cellular respiration are glycolysis, the krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation
