Cellular respiration project: analyzing cellular respiration.!! In this assignment, you will gather evidence to construct an explanation on how energy and matter move through the environment under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. You will then conduct additional guided research to revise your explanation based on the new information you discover. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Cellular respiration is a process that allows organisms to produce energy to maintain life. The process involves a series of chemical reactions that use glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and the high energy molecule, ATP. Organisms, including plants, undergo cellular respiration to create energy that they can use to maintain life processes. Cellular respiration may be aerobic, a type of respiration that requires oxygen, or anaerobic, a type of respiration that can occur in an environment with no or minimal oxygen.

Energy and matter are inter-convertible.

Explanation:

Energy and matter are inter-convertible and move through the environment under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Most of the organisms used aerobic respiration for the production of energy and this energy is produced due to the break down of glucose which is a matter and this matter is converted into energy. Respiration is energy releasing process while photosynthesis is process in which food is manufactured which is then used for obtaining energy. n aerobic conditions, oxygen is used to produce high amount of energy while anaerobic respiration occurs when oxygen is absent and very less amount of energy is produced. The product of respiration is carbondioxide, water and energy. This carbondioxide is used again in the process of photosynthesis in plants to prepare food and this food is used again in the respiration for releasing energy.

This is suuuper long!

Cells in plants get energy from the sun. The cells will use the energy from the sun to make food and conduct other processes.

Cells in animals get energy from the sun and from food. For example, if I ate a pizza slice, then I get energy from there.

Obligate anaerobes are microorganisms killed by normal atmospheric concentrations of oxygen (20.95% O2). Obligate anaerobes metabolise energy by anaerobic respiration or fermentation. In aerobic respiration, the pyruvate generated from glycolysis is converted to acetyl-CoA. This is then broken down via the TCA cycle and electron transport chain.

Each type of organism gets the energy it needs for its essential life processes mainly from the sun or from food.

Organisms get the nutrients they need to survive from food.

Nutrients move through an environment from organism to organism. Every organism excretes nutrients or eats nutrients.

Chemosynthesis is the synthesis of organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms.

They get energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals, typically in the sunlight.

I learned how different organisms get energy and what nutrients are. Also, I learned how nutrients go through the environment and what they are used for.

Explanation:

There's no real explanation for these answers.
