Aerobic & Anaerobic Respiration

Question 1

Is respiration an exothermic or endothermic reaction?

Answer 1

Exothermic reaction

Question 2

What is the word equation for Aerobic Respiration?

Answer 2

glucose + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)

Question 3

What is the number equation for Aerobic Respiration?

Answer 3

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Question 4

What are factors about Aerobic Respiration?

Answer 4

-Needs oxygen
-Occurs in mitochondria
-Breaks down glucose completely
-Releases a lot of energy

Question 5

What is the word equation for Anaerobic Respiration?

Answer 5

Glucose –> Lactic Acid (+ small amount of energy)

Question 6

What are factors about Anaerobic Respiration?

Answer 6

-does not need oxygen
-occurs in cytoplasm
-oxidation of glucose is incomplete so much less energy in transferred

Question 7

What is the word equation for fermentation?

Answer 7

glucose –> ethanol + carbon dioxide

Question 8

What are factors about fermentation?

Answer 8

-Makes alcohol
-Makes Carbon Dioxide
-Doesn’t make lactic acid
