Task Description Very important notes Cellular respiration ? breaking down food to produce ATP o in mitochondria o using oxygen ? ?aerobic? respiration ? usually digesting glucose o but could be other sugars, fats, or proteins glucose + oxygen ? energy + carbon dioxide + water C6H12O6 + 6O2 ? ATP + CO2 +H2O Need ? The ?Furnace? for making energy o mitochondria ? Fuel o food: carbohydrates, fats, proteins ? Helpers o oxygen o enzymes ? Product o ATP ? Waste products o carbon dioxide ? then used by plants o water Can?t store ATP ? too unstable ? only used in cell that produces it ? only short term energy storage o carbohydrates & fats are long term energy storage
