1. Cellular Respiration
(Aerobic)

2. What is Cellular Respiration?
A chemical process that releases energy from food molecules

3. Where does Cellular Respiration take place?
In the mitochondria of cells

4. When does Cellular Respiration Occur?
Only in the presence of oxygen (aerobic)

5. How does Cellular Respiration Happen?
C6H12O O > 6CO H2O ATP
1 glucose molecule + 6 oxygen =
6 water molecules + 6 carbon dioxide molecules ATP molecules

6. Why does Cellular Respiration Occur?
Very efficient; provides lots of energy - you get ATP’s from each molecule of glucose
Drawback: not very fast; complicated process - takes longer than fermentation
