the process organisms undergo that converts glucose to energy, usually using oxygen and glucose to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
The process in which the cell burns glucose to create ATP with the aid of oxygen. Cells have two different methods of turning food into usable fuel: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.
the intracellular, energy-producing process by which a cell obtains oxygen, distributes it to the mitochondria, uses it for oxidation of 6-carbon sugar and gives off carbon dioxide
The process in which a cell breaks down sugar or other organic compounds to release energy used for cellular work; may be anaerobic or aerobic, depending on the availability of oxygen.
the process by which animals and other organisms obtain the energy available in carbohydrates.
cellular respiration noun The series of metabolic processes by which living cells produce energy through the oxidation of organic substances. 1
The consumption of oxygen and generation of carbon dioxide by mitochondria.
the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic moelcules; processes that take place in the cells and tissues during which energy is released and carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed by the blood to be transported to the lungs
the processes in which cells metabolize glucose and oxygen while producing ATP.
Biochemical reactions that extract energy in mitochondria. 114, 126
The transfer of energy from various molecules to produce ATP; occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotes, the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. In the process, oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is generated.
The most prevalent and efficient catabolic pathway for the production of ATP, in which oxygen is consumed as a reactant along with the organic fuel.
The process whereby carbon-containing compounds are broken down through a series of reactions that result in the gradual release of energy stored as ATP. Usually, this process uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide and water as by-products.
The extraction of energy through the chemical breakdown of stored food molecules. Part of the process of germination.
Cellular respiration is a process that describes the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in a cell to obtain chemical energy from fuel molecules. Energy is released by the oxidation of fuel molecules and is stored as "high-energy" carriers. The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions in metabolism.
