Aerobic & Anaerobic Respiration
Aerobic & Anaerobic Respiration
Building up of glucose from carbon dioxide and water, using radiant energy from the sun
that is trapped in chlorophyll. Oxygen is released.
chlorophyll
CO2 + H2O + Radiant Energy enzymes
Glucose + O2 Anabolic
reaction because
glucose is being
built up
Cellular respiration
Breaking down of glucose, with the gradual release of energy (stored as
ATP molecules). Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide are needed. Water is
released. Catabolic reaction
because glucose is
being broken down
