7.3 Repiration Flashcards
Chemical energy in food converts into
Other useful forms of energy to support body activities
Where respiration
Body cells
Respiration process
Cells use oxygen to break down food (glucose) to release energy in useful forms
Carbon dioxide and water are produced
- Occurs in body cells
⬇️ oxygen - Break down food
⬇️ - Release energy (+ produce co2, water)
Word equation and chemical equation for respiration
Energy released

Glucose + oxygen ——> carbon dioxide + water
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 ——> 6CO2 + 6H2O
Why plants carry out respiration as well
