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.

Respiration and photosynthesis are the same because both involve gases.
