Which of the following represents the process of cellular respiration?

• Glucose + water + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + energy
• Carbon dioxide + water + energy --> glucose + oxygen
• Glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy
• Glucose + water + carbon dioxide --> oxygen + energy

Back

Glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy

Answer explanation

Remember that cellular respiration has 2 inputs (glucose and oxygen) and 3 outputs (carbon dioxide, water and energy).

Why is cellular respiration important to animals?

Back

It stores energy in ATP.

Answer explanation

Although it's true that cellular respiration forms carbon dioxide and uses oxygen, the main reason why it is important to animals is that it stores energy in ATP.

For respiration to occur, the ____________________ must be present.

Back

Mitochondria and chloroplasts

Answer explanation

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria while photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast. The two processes are interdependent and one cannot occur without the other.
