Q
Aerobic respiration
A
respiration that uses oxygen to release lots of energy from breaking down glucose
2
Q
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
A
Glucose + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water
3
Q
What is the chemical equation for aerobic respiration?
A
C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
4
Q
Anaerobic respiration
A
reaction without oxygen, that releases less energy than aerobic respiration
5
Q

A
glucose –> lactic acid
6
Q
ATP
A
adenosine triphosphate, a molecule made up of adenine that releases energy quickly
7
