Catabolism: Cellular respiration Cellular respiration is a catabolic process during which glucose is broken down to release usable energy for a cell. As in all catabolic processes, cellular respiration releases energy which can then be harnessed and used by other reactions in the cell.
Q. What is one of the 3 products of cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is this process in which oxygen and glucose are used to create ATP, carbon dioxide, and water. ATP, carbon dioxide, and water are all products of this process because they are what is created.

Q. What type of cells perform cellular respiration?
Vocabulary of the process of cellular respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is CELLULAR RESPIRATION? | Process by which mitochondria break down food molecules to produce ATP (energy). |
| What types of cells perform cellular respiration? | Every living thing performs cellular respiration (plants animals, bacteria, fungi, protists) |
Q. What types of cells use cellular respiration?
All living cells must carry out cellular respiration. It can be aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen or anaerobic respiration. Prokaryotic cells carry out cellular respiration within the cytoplasm or on the inner surfaces of the cells.
Q. How do bacteria perform cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is an energy generating process that occurs in the plasma membrane of bacteria. Glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water using oxygen in aerobic cellular respiration, and other molecules such as nitrate (NO3) in anaerobic cellular respiration, meaning simply, without oxygen.
Q. When the glucose is breakdown in absence of oxygen it is called as?
When breakdown of glucose occurs with the use of oxygen it is called aerobic respiration. Food can also be broken down, without using oxygen. This is called anaerobic respiration.
