Document Summary

Cellular respiration : a series of chemical reactions that convert the energy stored in nutrients into a chemical form that can be readily used by cells (atp) Laws of thermodynamics (the law of conservation of energy) states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Process of cellular respiration converts the chemical potential energy stored in organic molecules into chemical potential energy that is useful cells: the chemical potential energy in. Cellular respiration uses chemical energy stored in molecules such as carbohydrates and lipids to produce atp. Cellular respiration is a series of catabolic reactions that converts the energy stored in food molecules, such as glucose, into the energy stored in atp, and produces carbon dioxide as a waste or by-product. It can occur in the presence of oxygen (termed aerobic respiration) or in the absence of oxygen (termed anaerobic respiration) Oxygen is consumed in aerobic respiration, and carbon dioxide and water are produced, as follows:
