What types of cells would have more mitochondria than others?
The muscle cells has more mitochondria than others.
The equation for photosynthesis.
6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen.
What would happen if oxygen were not available?
In aerobic respiration, one molecule of glucose is broken down to produce 34 to 36 molecules of ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
In humans(and other animals) where does this glucose come from?
It comes from plants.
Why is this process called "aerobic"?
It is called aerobic because it requires oxygen.
Why are mitochondria called the powerhouse of the cell?
It is called the powerhouse because they burn and break the chemical bonds of glucose to release energy to do work in a cell.
What simple sugar is broken down in the mitochondria?
The sugar that is being broken down is because of glucose.
Products are what is created during a reaction. What are the three products of cellular respiration?
The three products that was created is carbon dioxide, water, and energy molecule.
Reactants are what goes into the reaction, what are the two reactants needed for respiration to occur.
The two reactants are glucose and oxygen.
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration similar?
Cellular respiration takes a glucose molecule and combines it with oxygen. Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide and combines it with water, enabled by radiant energy, usually from the sun.
Glucose is broken down by the mitochondria by what process?
By the process of aerobic cellular respiration.
What energy-carrying molecule is created when the chemical bonds of glucose are broken?
The energy molecule is from the mitochondria.
