FINAL Jeopardy

• Describe the process of cellular respiration.

• Food breaks down into glucose. Glucose in the cytoplasm is broken down into smaller molecules. This releases a small amount of energy. Then, these molecules move into the mitochondria at the same time the oxygen moves into the mitochondria. As these molecules are broken down further, hydrogen is released in a way that allows cells to capture energy in a usable form. The energy is released to other cells for activities and the rest of the energy is released as heat. The hydrogen combines with oxygen to make water. Carbon Dioxide is released by the cell.
