Cellular Respiration: Energy from Glucose
Learning Objective
I can describe how cells use cellular respiration to release energy from glucose.
Key Concepts
Photosynthesis is how plants make their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.
Cellular respiration happens in the mitochondria of cells, using glucose and oxygen to release energy.
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected; photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose that cellular respiration uses to produce carbon dioxide and water.
