In 3-5 sentences, describe cellular respiration and identify reactants and products. Explain where the energy comes from and how it is stored. (4 points)
1 answer
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. The reactants in cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen, while the products are energy (in the form of ATP), carbon dioxide, and water. The energy in cellular respiration comes from the breakdown of glucose molecules, which releases stored energy in the form of ATP. This energy is then used by the cell for various functions such as growth, repair, and movement.
