So, do you have a glimpse of cellular respiration?
Here we go again...
Getting Food In
Where's the point?
So first, we digest our food that we eat and it goes through our cells.
Cells are single , circular organisms.
Getting Oxygen In
Ok...
The lungs bring in the oxygen when we inhale, and they go
The lungs contain tiny air sacs that are able to trap in oxygen into the bloodstream
One day, three friends named Max, Xander, and Ethan were talking about cellular respiration. They talked about how it is essential for all life processes.
Moving Reactants to Cells
Cool!
As they go, red blood supplies are limited, good thing bone marrow produces more blood cells
So Max and Ethan got to explaining how the reactant, glucose, gets in the body.
Creating Energy
That seems like something I don't want to see but okay...
The three products made are carbon dioxide, ATP energy, and a tiny bit of water.
Then they got to telling how oxygen enters through the lungs.
Getting Rid of Waste Products
Wow, it is such a cool process!
And the ATP energy is used to carry on all life processes.
Then they talked about how the bloodstream carries the two reactants to their destination, the cells in your body.
After the two reactants reach the bloodstream, they take a long journey to the cells
They got to how the mighty mitochondria turn the two reactants into a product and 2 waste gases.
Once in the cells, they go into the cell membrane to the mitochondria and turn the sugars into 3 products
Finally, they explained how the waste products and ATP energy is used.
They two waste products, carbon dioxide, and water are exhaled out even though we can't see carbon dioxide.
