What’s the function of cellular respiration

Biology

mamaluj [8]3 years ago

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level. The purpose of cellular respiration is simple: it provides cells with the energy they need to function. If living things could not get the energy they need out of food, it would be absolutely worthless. All living things would eventually die, no matter the quality and amount of food.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water)

The main function of cellular respiration is to turn food into usable chemical energy called ATP. Your body can use ATP as a source of energy to function.

In foods such as carbohydrates, there is stored chemical energy that the body can't use right away. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level.

Which factor most likely caused animals and plants in india to differ greatly from species in nearby southeast asia? which facto
STatiana [176]

The correct answer is - India was a separate continent until 45 million years ago.

India and Southeast Asia despite bordering one another have great differences in the flora and fauna. The reason for that is that India was a separate continent until 45 million years ago, while Southeast Asia was part of Asia. Because of the long period of isolation before the collision with the Asian mainland, the flora and fauna of India developed unique characteristics, mostly found only in India, and some being shared between India and Madagascar as it was the last land with which it was in contact before becoming a separate continent and started moving towards Asia. The differences are bigger in the southern half of India, while in the northern half they are lesser and have more similarities with the flora and fauna of Southeast Asia.

Which property allows objects that do not produce their own light to be seen
Marysya12 [62]
<span>The answer is reflection. Objects that do not produce their own light, reflect light when the light is shone on them. This is because the light bounces off them by reflection. One example is the reflection of sunlight by the moon so it is visible in the night.  </span>
