Question

Cellular Respiration During cellular respiration the breakdown of organic molecules such as sugars or fats provides the energy to make ATP molecules. The chemical equations shown below summarize cellular respiration of glucose. The actual process of cellular respiration in cells requires many steps which are not shown here. Write the names on each of the molecules in these chemical equations. How do our bodies get glucose and other organic molecules for cellular respiration? How is it different for plants?

Explanation / Answer

2. Glucose+Oxygen=Carbondioxide+water

ADP(Adenosine diphosphate)+phosphate=ATP(Adenosine triphosphate)

3.Humans get glucose and organic molecules for cellular respiration through food. Food digested contains glucose. When broken down the glucose is transferred in the blood to cells for respiration.Plants use photosynthesis to absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air.
