Question

How does glucose concentration affect cellular respiration?

Answer 1

Cellular respiration:

1. Cellular respiration is a collection of metabolic processes through which all living cells release energy by turning biochemical energy from food into adenosine triphosphate-ATP.
2. Changes in glucose concentration impact the rate of cellular respiration since all living cells require both glucose and oxygen to function correctly.
3. A cell cannot create energy in the form of ATP molecules if its glucose level is low.
4. The three processes of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
5. The primary role of glucose in each of these phases is to supply energy via its bonds.
