Cellular Respiration
Instructions:
Using your guided notes as reference to color and answer the questions on the next page below.

Color and write the description of each:

(red)Outer Membrane = smooth outer covering

(purple) Inner Membrane = folded inside of the organelle to increase surface area

(yellow) Cristae = the folds of the inner membrane

(blue) Mitochondrial Matrix = inside the inner membrane that holds the folds together

(green) DNA = genetic material

The Mitochondria:

1. Which sugar is broken down in the mitochondria to make energy?

___GLUCOSE____________________________

2. What is this process called? __CELLULAR __________________ __RESPIRATION_________

3. What else is needed for this process to happen?__OXYGEN____________________________

4. Which molecule is then created? ____ATP_________________________hint: it carries energy

5. Where does this take place? ______MITOCHONDRIA____________________________ hint:: which

organelle?

6. Which types of cells would have more mitochondria than others? hint: consider the organs in your body

EX) MUSCLE CELLS

-Why would they need more mitochondria?

THEY REQUIRE MORE ENERGY

7. In humans (and other animals) where does this glucose come from?
PLANTS (PHOTOSYNTHESIS). ALL ANIMALS MUST CONSUME A PHOTOSYNTHETIC ORGANISM, IN
ORDER TO OBTAIN GLUCOSE.

8. Why does your respiration rate increase during exercise?

YOUR CELLS REQUIRE MORE OXYGEN
