What are the two ways cells break down glucose molecules apart for energy?
(1) Cellular Respiration
(2) Fermentation
What is the difference between cellular respiration and fermentation?
(1) Cellular Respiration- requires oxygen
(2) Fermentation- doesn’t require oxygen
All of the chemical reactions that take place in a cell constitute its __________
metabolism
Cellular respiration and fermentation are examples of _________ __________
catabolic pathways
What is the difference between catabolic and anabolic pathways?
catabolic pathways-pathways in which complex molecules are broken down into simpler compounds, releasing energy
anabolic pathways- conversely, build complex molecules from simpler ones and consume energy
What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
cells breaking down glucose by using oxygen
What are the 4 phases of cell respiration?
