Aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Question 1

what is respiration?

Answer 1

It is the process of releasing energy from glucose, which happens constantly in every living cell to give energy to the organism to carry out life processes

Question 2

what is the equation for aerobic respiration?

Answer 2

C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O+ATP

Question 3

how does it happen (aerobic respiration)

Answer 3

oxygen oxidizes glucose which turns into water, carbon dioxide and ATP (energy). carbon dioxide and water are waste products.

Question 4

what does aerobic respiration release

Answer 4

ATP and a little heat energy

Question 5

what is ATP

Answer 5

adenosine triphosphate

Question 6

what happens to ATP when the body needs energy

Answer 6

when energy is needed the body take one phosphate from ATP turning it into ADP (adenosine diphosphate)

Question 7

what happens to ATP during respiration

Answer 7

during respiration ADP gets back its phosphate turning into ATP

Question 8

how does it happen (anaerobic respiration)

Answer 8

it does not use oxygen. glucose gets partially broken down giving the cells energy in cases when oxygen is low.

Question 9

what does glucose break down into in plants (anaerobic respiration)

Answer 9

ethanol and carbon dioxide

Question 10

what does glucose break down into in animals (anaerobic respiration)

Answer 10

lactate
