Cells and Energy
Cellular Respiration
A series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP
First step of cellular respiration, glycolysis, occurs in the cytoplasm of all cells
Glycolysis is a process by which glucose, a sugar, is broken down into smaller molecules
-
-
When smaller molecules are broken down for glycolysis, large amounts of ATP are produces
Photosynthesis
A series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into the food-energy molecule glucose and give off oxygen
-
In plants, pigments such as chlorophyll absorb light energy
-
-
Fermentation
-
A reaction that eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells use to obtain energy from food when oxygen levels are low.
