1. Whereas cellular respiration is highly exergonic and releases energy, photosynthesis requires energy and is highly endergonic.

2. Much of the o 2 supporting cellular respiration is reduced to the superoxide anion o 2 -.

3. Cellular respiration is the chemical reaction that helps a person to turn the sugar in food into energy.

4. What Is Cellular Respiration?

5. Cyanide is a rapid acting toxin that inhibits cellular respiration – it prevents the body from using oxygen.

6. Cellular respiration is the process cells use to convert the energy in the chemical bonds of nutrients to ATP energy.

7. Cellular respiration can be studied in isolated mitochondria by measuring oxygen consumption under different conditions.

8. Any of various colored conjugated proteins, such as hemoglobin , that occur in living organisms and function in oxygen transfer in cellular respiration.

9. ATP is produced only in living cells during photosynthesis and cellular respiration and consumed in cellular processes including biosynthetic reactions, motility and cell division.

10. Form the point of view of chemistry and energetics, it is the opposite of cellular respiration.

11. How does the regulation of citrate synthase control the rate of cellular respiration in pig heart tissue?

12. A eukaryotic cell can use glucose (C6H12O6) and hexanoic acid (C6H14O2) as fuels for cellular respiration.

13. Pulling as many electrons out of the nutrients as possible is the goal of cellular respiration.

14. Eventually, this assault on the cells can damage them, and inactivate the cellular respiration, leading to the death of the cell.

15. That means that all processes involving oxygen, including the oxygen used in cellular respiration, leads to the formation of free radicals.

16. Because this process requires oxygen, it is often referred to as cellular respiration.
