Cellular Respiration • Takes place in the mitochondria. • The mitochondria is known as the “powerhouse” of the cell because it produces the energy needed for cellular functions. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VuGbfaqr0I0/TY9cuCY6nnI/AAAAAAAAAfA/1uqzNWDEKkA/s1600/mitochondria.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Animal_mitochondrion_diagram_en_(edit).svg/400px-Animal_mitochondrion_diagram_en_(edit).svg.png
Cellular Respiration • There are two types of cellular respiration. • Aerobic respiration requires oxygen. • Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen.
Aerobic Respiration • Oxygen is always required. • The molecules of food (Glucose)are broken down to obtain energy in the form of ATP. • Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are excreted as wastes.
