Question

What are the products of cellular respiration? Next to each material identify whether it is organic or inorganic.

Answer 1

Answer:

Organic molecules have more chemical potential energy than inorganic molecules

Explanation:

Chemical molecules can either be organic or inorganic depending on whether they contain certain elements. Organic molecules are molecules that contain in their structure a carbon-hydrogen bond (C-H) e.g C2H4, C6H12O6 etc. while inorganic compounds do not contain the carbon and hydrogen elements bonded together e.g CO2, H2S

Considering the substances/compounds involved in photosynthesis and respiration, glucose (C6H12O6) is the only organic compound while every other compound is inorganic. However, organic compounds store more potential energy called chemical energy in its C-C or C-H bonds than inorganic molecules do.

Answer 2

Answer:

Oxygen and Glucose are both reactants in the process of cellular respiration. The main product of cellular respiration is ATP, waste products include carbon dioxide and water.
