RESPIRATION
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
• Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic
reactions and processes that take place in the
cells of organisms to convert biochemical
energy from nutrients into adenosine
triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste
products.
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
• For animals, humans and other consumers,
energy is obtained by digesting food. During
Digestion, food is broken down into simpler
molecules. Cells will then use these molecules
to release their energy through a process called
CELLULAR RESPIRATION.
WHO USES CELLULAR RESPIRATION?
All organisms, from the smallest to the largest,
need a way to get energy to live. They need a
way to convert nutrients into energy, in the form
of ATP. There are a variety of ways that
organisms can get energy from the nutrients they
make or consume, one of these being cellular
respiration.
WHO USES CELLULAR RESPIRATION?
Throughout the history of evolution, cellular
respiration has been a central element of many
organisms' functioning. Even as species have
developed and changed through the process of natural
selection, all of the successful, surviving individuals
have kept the genes that allow them to produce the
enzymes needed for cellular respiration.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CELLULAR
RESPIRATION:
AEROBIC
ANAEROBIC
CELLULAR
CELLULAR
RESPIRATION RESPIRATIO
N
ANAEROBIC CELLULAR RESPIRATION
• Involves oxygen.
• Occurs in the Mitochondria
• This process includes: Krebs Cycle
and Oxidative Phosphorylation
