What type of energy transformation takes place during cellular respiration? Use complete sentences to explain how energy is conserved during cellular respiration.

Respuesta :

In cellular respiration glucose is converted into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is also known as the energy currency of the cell. Glucose enter the catabolic pathway in glycolysis, followed by citric acid cycle and the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. Glucose can enter either the aerobic or anaerobic pathway but the energy yield in the aerobic pathway is several folds higher.

In this exercise we will have to explain the transformation of energy in cellular respiration, as:

The type of energy transformation takes is chemical energy and the energy is conserved because The ATP molecule stores energy from cellular respiration and photosynthesis for immediate consumption.

Recalling how cellular respiration works we have:

  • Cellular respiration is a process by which organisms obtain energy to perform the most diverse activities. Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria, in the presence of oxygen, and is divided into three steps: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (or Krebs cycle) and oxidative phosphorylation.

How is energy stored in ATP?

Energy is stored in the bonds between phosphates. The molecule acts as a cellular currency, that is, it is a convenient form of energy transformation. The ATP molecule stores energy from cellular respiration and photosynthesis for immediate consumption.
