Aerobic Respiration Flashcards
What is the energy released by respiration used for
To power some of the chemical reactions that happen in cells
Why is energy needed for movement
To allow the muscles to contract
Why is energy needed for active transport
To move some substances in and out of cells
Give an example of smaller molecules joining together to make larger molecules such as polymers
Glucose joins together to make things like starch and cellulose in plant cells
What do glucose and cellulose join together to make
Amino acids
Where do plants get their nitrogen from
Nitrates in the soil
Name the two types of respiration
Aerobic and anaerobic
What does aerobic respiration need plenty of
Oxygen
Aerobic respiration releases more…. Than anaerobic respiration
Energy per glucose molecule
Which one do we use more
Aerobic respiration
Which cells does aerobic respiration take place in
Animal and plant cells and some microorganisms
Word equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose+oxygen-> carbon dioxide+ water (+energy released)
Symbol equation for aerobic respiration
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O (+energy released)
What are reactants turned into during a reaction
Products
What is respiration
A series of chemical reactions that release energy by breaking down food molecules
