What to Focus On
- Respiration is a catabolic process.
- It releases energy from glucose.
- It occurs in series of enzyme-controlled steps.
- ATP is the immediate energy source in cells.
- ATP is converted to ADP during energy use.
- ADP is converted back to ATP when energy becomes available.
- Respiration is a cellular process.
- Burning is a non-cellular process.
- Respiration occurs in steps; burning occurs in one step.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Respiration in plants happens only in leaves because leaves exchange gases.
Respiration and breathing are the same thing.
