Document Summary

Co2 and h2o released by cellular respiration are converted through synthesis to glucose and. Breathing supplies o2 for use in cellular respiration and removes co2. Respiration is often used as a synonym for breathing (as exchange of gases) . Animals take in o2 from the environment and release co2 as a waste product . Respiration = the aerobic (oxygen-requiring) harvesting of energy from food molecules by cells . Use the term cellular respiration to distinguish it from breathing . Fundamental function of cellular respiration is to generate atp for cellular work . Glucose is most often used, however other organic molecules can also be used . Consists of many steps (multiple arrows in formula) . Can produce up to 32 atp molecules for each glucose molecule . Capturing 34% of the energy originally stored in glucose. Cells trap energy from electrons falling from organic fuels to oxygen. Electrons transferred from glucose to oxygen in cellular respiration, releasing energy.
