Q

what is aerobic respiration??

{YOU JUST EXPLAIN THE ANSWER}

A

{YOU JUST EXPLAIN THE ANSWER}

Aerobic respiration is chemical reactions in cells that use oxygen to break down nutrient molecules to release energy

Aerobic respiration happens all the time in the cells of animal and plants. Most of the reactions involved happen inside mitochondria, tiny objects inside the cytoplasm of the cells.

{Happens in mitochondria and is a chemical reaction that happens in cells}

Q

Explain and describe the process of aerobic respiration??

A

Aerobic respiration is respiration WITH oxygen.
Aerobic respiration takes place in EVERY plant and animal cell, and some microbes e.g. bacteria.
In plant and animal cells respiration happens in the MITOCHONDRIA.

Q

How does our breathing rate change when we exercise?

A

Breathing rate will increase during and after exercise because our bodies need more oxygen for respiration.

{SUMMERY}

A
  • the word equation for respiration is:
    glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy
  • oxygen is transported to cells by haemoglobin in red blood cells
  • Aerobic means with oxygen.
  • Aerobic respiration is a chemical reaction.
  • Aerobic respiration happens in the mitochondria inside living cells.
  • Aerobic respiration releases energy from glucose.
  • Aerobic respiration produces the waste products carbon dioxide and water.
  • You get most of your energy from aerobic respiration.
