-Building and breaking molecules
-Maintains a constant body temperature
-In plants, to convert sugars and nutrients into amino acids
When does anaerobic respiration take place?
When there isnt a big enough supply of oxygen leading to muscle fatigue
Test for Carbon dioxide
Bubble gas through limewater, if it goes cloudy Co2 is present
Test for ethanol
Smelling
