Question

● reactants:
○ in humans, the ________________________ is consumed in the food we eat.
○ the ________________________ is inhaled from the atmosphere.
● products
○ carbon dioxide & excess water vapor are exhaled to be released from the body.
○ atp is used to power cellular activities.
cfu: what is the correct equation for cellular respiration?
a. carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen
b. glucose + water → carbon dioxide + oxygen + atp
c. glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + atp
where does cellular respiration happen?
this organelle is: ________________________
● in the ________________________ of eukaryotic cells.
● some specialized cells, such as ________________________, can
contain hundreds of mitochondria.
● ______________________, ____________________, ____________________ & ______________________ all
perform cellular respiration.
cfu: whats the organelle of a plant cell where cellular respiration occurs?
a. nucleus
c. mitochondria
b. chloroplast
d. cell membrane

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process where glucose (consumed in food) reacts with oxygen (inhaled) to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ATP. The equation for cellular respiration is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + ATP. In eukaryotic cells, cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Some specialized cells like muscle cells can have many mitochondria. Plants, animals, fungi, and protists all perform cellular respiration. For the multiple - choice question about the plant cell organelle for cellular respiration, mitochondria (C) is the correct answer as chloroplasts are for photosynthesis, the nucleus is for genetic material storage, and the cell membrane is for protection and transport.

Answer:

For the equation of cellular respiration: C. glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + ATP.
For the organelle question: C. Mitochondria.
