Presentation Transcript

  1. Cellular Respiration • Cellular respiration is the process by which cells breakdown sugar and release the energy it contains. • Cellular Respiration ≠ Breathing

  2. Like photosynthesis, cellular respiration takes place in two stages: • In the cytoplasm: • Glucose (sugar) is broken down into smaller molecules, releasing a small amount of energy. • In the mitochondria: • The smaller glucose molecules combine with oxygen. • Carbon dioxide and water are produced. • This releases a large amount of energy.

  3. Cellular Respiration Equation • The process of cellular respiration is represented by the following equation: C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy sugar oxygen carbon water dioxide

  5. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration can be thought of as opposite processes:

  6. Multicellular Organization • Multi-celled organisms have cells that are specialized to perform specific tasks • organization is as follows: Cells → Tissues → Organs → Organ systems → Organisms
