aerobic respiration Flashcards
1
Q
What are the primary reactants required for aerobic respiration?
A
Oxygen and glucose
These reactants are essential for producing energy in the form of ATP.
2
Q
Write the word equation for aerobic respiration.
A
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)
This equation summarizes the process of aerobic respiration.
3
Q
How does oxygen enter the body for aerobic respiration?
A
Through the respiratory system, diffuses into the bloodstream, and is transported to cells
Oxygen crosses the cell membrane to enter the cells.
4
Q
How does glucose get into the bloodstream?
A
Obtained from food and absorbed through the digestive system
Glucose is then transported to cells for energy production.
