The document discusses cellular respiration and its importance for plant and animal life. It explains that cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves glucose and oxygen molecules combining to release energy and produce carbon dioxide and water. It also describes how photosynthesis provides the food and oxygen needed for cellular respiration and how the oxygen and carbon dioxide produced are recycled in the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle as part of the carbon cycle.

2. Cellular Respiration

3. Key Objectives:
 The student will:
– Investigate and understand the
physical and chemical process of
cellular respiration and its
importance to plant and animal
life

4. Key Objectives:
 The student will:
– Use words or chemical equations
to compare and contrast the
processes of photosynthesis and
respiration in terms of raw
materials required, products
produced and cellular organelles
involved

5. Cellular Respiration
 The process in which all living
things including plants obtain
energy stored in food

6. Cellular Respiration Diagram

7. Essential Learnings
 All livings turn food into energy
through a process called
cellular respiration

8. Essential Learnings
 Cellular respiration is a
chemical process that occurs in
an organelle called the
mitochondria of each cell of a
living organism

9. Essential Learnings
 In the mitochondria, glucose
molecules are combined with
Oxygen to release energy and
produce Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
and Water (H2O)

10. The Mitochondria
 Often called the
power source of the
cell

11. Inside the Mitochondria

12. Essential Learnings
 Photosynthesis provides food
and oxygen necessary for
cellular respiration of all plants
and animals

13. Photosynthesis

14. Essential Learnings
 During respiration Oxygen is
used and Carbon Dioxide is
given off to the environment
where it becomes available for
producers to use again

15. Essential Learnings
 Matter, in this case Oxygen and
Carbon Dioxide is recycled
 This is known as The Oxygen
Carbon Dioxide Cycle
– Part of the Carbon Cycle
