cellular respiration

Cellular Respiration 

main ideas: 

-reactants; glucose and oxygen

-products; carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

-releases energy by breaking down food 

-it occurs in the mitochondria 

-occurs in plants and animals, only plants have photosynthesis 

Most of the stuff from cellular respiration i already knew because we learned it in class. I thought it was cool that energy can be released by breaking down food. This happens by a glucose molecule is broken down into carbon dioxide and water, then along the way ATP is produced and transforms glucose. I learned ATP is the main product of cellular respiration and that carbon dioxide and water are waste products. I thought it was interesting that cellular respiration occurs in both plants and animals yet only plants carry out photosynthesis. Although i cant relate much to cellular respiration it was a fun subject to learn about.
