MitochondriaThe process of respiration

Mitochondria are

• The powerhouse of the cell

• They take in glucose and oxygen

• They give off carbon dioxide, water and energy

Respiration looks like this

• Glucose C6H12O6 + Oxygen 6 O2

=

Carbon Dioxide 6 CO2 + Water

6 H2O + Energy

Respiration can happen without oxygen!

• This process is called fermentation.

• Fermentation occurs in plants when bacteria breaks them down and produces alcohol and vinegar.

• When it happens in humans it is called lactic-acid fermentation.
