B1.3.2 - Aerobic Respiration

Question 1

What does energy do for you?

Answer 1

It hallows you to move, grow and keep warm

Question 2

What is aerobic respiration?

Answer 2

The reaction during which glucose and oxygen react to transfer energy from a chemical store to another chemical energy store for all processes in a cell

Question 3

Where do you get the oxygen in your body from?

Answer 3

Breathing

Question 4

What is the chemical equation for aerobic respiration?

Answer 4

Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water

C6H12O6 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O

Question 5

How would you balance this equation?

Answer 5

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Question 6

What is ATP?

Answer 6

Energy for all processes in a store that is released during aerobic respiration

Question 7

What does ATP stand for?

Answer 7

Adenosine Triphosphate

Question 8

Which living organisms use ATP?

Answer 8

All of them

Question 9

What is ATP used for?

What do plants make amino acids from?

Answer 10

Sugars, nitrates and other nutrients

Question 11

When does aerobic respiration occur?

Answer 11

All the time

Question 12

In which sub-cellular structure (organelle) does respiration occur?

Answer 12

Mitochondria

Question 13

What controls aerobic respiration?

Answer 13

Enzymes

Question 14

What do the number of mitochondria in a cell tell you?

Answer 14

How active the cell is

Question 15

What happens to some energy during respiration?

Answer 15

It is transferred to the surroundings by heating

Question 16

If energy is transferred to surroundings by heating during respiration, what does this mean?

Answer 16

Respiration is an exothermic reaction
