Cellular respiration
|
A series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP.
|
|
|
Glycolysis
|
A process by which glucose, a sugar, is broken down of energy called ATP.
|
|
|
Fermentation
|
A reaction that eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells can use to obtain energy from food when oxygen levels are low.
|
|
|
Photosynthesis
|
A series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into the food-energy molecule glucose and give off oxygen.

|
What is the first step of cellular respiration called?
|
Glycolysis

|
|
What happens during glycolysis?
|
Glucose is broken down into smaller molecules (a small amount of ATP is released)
