Cellular Respiration

How would you describe cellular respiration?

• Sunlight and CO₂ make ATP

• ATP and O₂ are used to make sugars

• Carbon-based molecules from food and oxygen are used to make ATP

• ATP and CO₂ are used to make ADP and Water

Answer explanation

Cellular respiration is the process where carbon-based molecules from food and oxygen are used to produce ATP, the energy currency of cells.

What is the equation for aerobic cellular respiration?

• C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ --> --> --> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

• C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6CO₂ --> --> --> 6O₂ + 6H₂O

• 6 CO₂ + 6H₂O --> --> --> 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Answer explanation

The equation for aerobic cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O. This equation represents the process by which glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy in the form of ATP.

Cellular Respiration is the reverse reaction of photosynthesis.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. It is the opposite of photosynthesis, which converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Therefore, the statement that cellular respiration is the reverse reaction of photosynthesis is true.
