Document Summary

Atp produced by cell respiration, powers cell work. Cell respiration breaks down sugar, generates atp & heat. O2 consumed as sugar broken down into co2 & h2o. Cell captures some released energy and makes atp, some energy lost as heat. Exergonic (energy releasing) process, transfers energy from bonds in glucose to form atp. Still occurs in plant cells even though they don"t have mitochondria. Can produce 32 atp for 1 glucose (uses 34% of energy and rest released as heat) Cell respiration equation= c6h12o6 + 6 o2 6 co2 + 6 h2o + atp + heat. During cell respiration, electrons transferred from glucose to o2 & energy is released. O2 attracts electrons, but electrons lost potential energy when transferred to o2. Energy can be released from glucose by burning. Respiration (breathing sense- exchange of gasses) is not the same as cell respiration (aerobic harvesting of energy from food molecules by cells)
