Cellular Respiration - Exploring Nature
Cellular RespirationCellular Respiration Text, Diagrams, Assessments, and Link to Standards Focus Questions1) What is Cellular Respiration ?2) How is Cellular Respiration connected to breathing?3) If you are an athlete that exercises extensively, what organelles might you expect to see more of in your cells?4) How does eating food give our cells energy?When we eat and digest food, it is broken down into smaller and smaller units until it becomes small enough to be used in our cells as glucose molecules. At the same time, we are breathing in oxygen that travels from our lungs through our bloodstream into small and smaller blood vessels until it reaches our cells. When the glucose and oxygen reaches our cells, we have the materials we need to perform Cellular Respiration . This process starts in the cells cytoplasm and is completed in the mitochondria - the Cellular powerhouse. In those tiny organelles, one molecule of glucose with 6 molecules of oxygen are changed into 36 molecules of ATP the energy cells can use to get things Respiration is going on in every cell in both animals and Animals1) Eat a sandwich and start digesting 2) bread breaks down into carbohydrate molecules 3) carbohydrate molecules break down into glucose molecules 4) glucose molecules (plus oxygen from breathing) are converted in the cells to energy (
Understanding Cellular Respiration Here are three visual depictions of cellular respiration – an equation, an output description and an illustration. 1) Equation: C 6 H 12 O 6 (1 glucose molecule) + 6 O 2 = 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + 36 ATP (ENERGY) carbohydrate + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + ATP energy 2) Description of the molecules created in all three stages of cellular …
