Understand the basic definition of cellular respiration: it is a metabolic process that converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy (in the form of ATP).
Identify the type of reaction: Cellular respiration is a catabolic process, meaning it breaks down molecules into smaller units, releasing energy in the process.
Differentiate between exergonic and endergonic reactions: Exergonic reactions release energy, while endergonic reactions require an input of energy.
Recognize that cellular respiration is an exergonic reaction because it releases energy stored in glucose molecules.
Conclude that cellular respiration is not anabolic (which builds molecules) or photosynthetic (which involves converting light energy into chemical energy), but rather an exergonic process that releases energy.
