Cellular Respiration

• An analogy can be drawn between the process of
  cellular respiration in our cells and a car.
• The mitochondria are the engines of our cells
  where sugar is burned for fuel and the exhaust is
  CO2 and H2O.

3
Cellular Respiration

• The series of metabolic processes where a
  carbohydrate (a sugar or a starch) and oxygen
  combine to produce carbon dioxide, water, and
  energy.
• Carbohydrate Oxygen Carbon Dioxide Water
  Energy

4
Cellular Respiration

• Mitochondria is the cellular organelle that
  produces energy. Cellular respiration occurs on
  the cristae of the mitochondria.

5
Photosynthesis

• All energy originates from the sun.
• The suns energy is captured through a process
  called photosynthesis.
• Through photosynthesis, primary producers (i.e.
  plants) convert light energy from the sun into
  chemical energy stored as carbohydrates and
  other organic compounds.

6
Respiration

• Plants are able to capture the energy from the
  sun through pigments called chlorophyll.
• Chlorophyll is found in organelles called
  chloroplasts.

8
Respiration

• Respiration and Photosynthesis occur
  constantly.
• Together they form a natural cycle called the
  Carbon Cycle.
• The Carbon is a small part of the larger
  nutrient cycle.
• Mitochondrion
• Carbohydrate, Oxygen Energy,
  Carbon Dioxide, Water
• Chloroplast
