Question
- what does cellular respiration produce?
- what kind of cells carry out cellular respiration?
- where does cellular respiration take place in prokaryotic cells?
in eukaryotic cells?
- what are the 4 steps of cellular respiration?
- when there is no oxygen available, cellular respiration is referred to as respiration instead of respiration (with oxygen).
- why is cellular respiration important?
Brief Explanations
- Cellular respiration produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), and water ($H_2O$).
- All living cells (both prokaryotic and eukaryotic) carry out cellular respiration.
- In prokaryotic cells, cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotic cells, it takes place in the mitochondria (for aerobic respiration) and the cytoplasm (for glycolysis).
- The four steps of cellular respiration are glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation.
- When there is no oxygen available, cellular respiration is referred to as anaerobic respiration instead of aerobic respiration (with oxygen).
- Cellular respiration is important because it is the process by which cells convert nutrients (such as glucose) into ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell. This energy is used for various cellular processes, including growth, repair, and movement.
