Why do cells burn Glucose? To make ATP

CELL RESPIRATION is a process in living cells. During respiration, sugar molecules are broken down with oxygen. The sugar is broken into carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules… ENERGY is released from the sugar during this process.

  1. CELL RESPIRATION is a process in living cells. During respiration, sugar molecules are broken down with oxygen. The sugar is broken into carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules… ENERGY is released from the sugar during this process.

  2. This energy from sugar is used to formATP.ATP stores the energy released by the sugar. Burning 1 molecule of glucose sugar can give enough energy to make 38 molecules of ATP

  3. Why do cells burn Glucose?To make ATP

  4. Gills allow oxygen to enter blood. Why?

  5. TO BURN SUGAR.C6 H12 O6 + O2  CO2 + H2O + ENERGY

  6. Gills also release Carbon Dioxide from the burned sugar back to the water

  7. This prevents a build-up of CO2 in the body. CO2 is the waste product of respiration

  8. LUNGS allow OXYGEN to enter the blood. WHY??

  9. To burn Glucose sugar

  10. BUT… why burn sugar anyways? • In a living cell… The energy from the burning of glucose sugar is used to force ADP to combine with a third phosphate. • The energy released by the sugar is now stored in the molecule of ATP. Formed by combining ADP and P

  11. ATP is THEMOLECULE which cells use for energy

  12. ENERGY FLOW GOES LIKE THIS • Sun  Glucose sugar  ATP - • ENERGY From ATP is released to the cell as heat or movement etc…

  13. CELL RESPIRATION is a process in living cells. During respiration, sugar molecules are broken down with oxygen. The sugar is broken into carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules… ENERGY is released from the sugar during this process.

  14. This energy from sugar is used to formATP.ATP stores the energy released by the sugar. Burning 1 molecule of glucose sugar can give enough energy to make 38 molecules of ATP

  15. ALL LIVING CELLS USE ATP for energy

  16. DO PLANTS BURN SUGAR ? • YES !!

  17. Plants make sugar so they can burn that sugar later on

  18. Do animals respirate sugar?( burn sugar with oxygen ? ) • YES
