Learning Objective

I can describe how cells use cellular respiration to release energy from glucose.

  • 1

    Photosynthesis is how plants make their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

  • 2

    Cellular respiration happens in the mitochondria of cells, using glucose and oxygen to release energy.

  • 3

    Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected; photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose that cellular respiration uses to produce carbon dioxide and water.
