Silica gel is a granular, vitreous, porous form of silicon dioxide made synthetically from sodium silicate. Silica gel is tough and hard; it is more solid than common household gels like gelatin or agar.It is a naturally occurring mineral that is purified and processed into either granular or beaded form.n this form, it is used as a desiccant to control local humidity to avoid spoilage or degradation of some goods. Because silica gel can have added chemical indicators (see below) and adsorbs moisture very well, silica gel packets usually bear warnings for the user not to eat the contents.
Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.lthough technically, cellular respiration is a combustion reaction, it clearly does not resemble one when it occurs in a living cell due to slow release of energy from the series of reactions.
At the end of anaerobic respiration, there are only two molecules of ATP produced. During aerobic cellular respiration, there are a maximum of 38 molecules of ATP formed. The Process. Aerobic cellular respiration occurs mainly in eukaryotic cells. These are cells that contain a nucleus (brain of the cell) and organelles (little organs that each have their own job inside the cell). The process of aerobic cellular respiration takes place mostly inside of the mitochondria, an organelle that is known as the powerhouse of the cell.
