Biology:(Bioenergetics) respiration

Question 1

what is aerobic respiration

Answer 1

Aerobic respiration is respiration taking place in the presence of oxygen

The waste products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and water.

Question 2

what are the equations for aerobic respiration

Answer 2

glucose + oxygen———-> carbon dioxide + water (+energy)

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ———> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ENERGY

Question 3

Where does aerobic respiration take place

Answer 3

in the mitochondria

Question 4

why do organisms require the energy released by respiration

Answer 4

synthesis of larger molecules
muscle contractions
active transport

Question 5

what is anaerobic respiration

Answer 5

Anaerobic respiration is respiration in the absence of oxygen

It occurs when oxygen is not present.

It transfers large amounts of energy quickly.

Question 6

equation for anaerobic respiration

Answer 6

glucose ——> lactic acid (+energy)

Question 7

why is anaerobic respiration less efficient than aerobic respiration

Answer 7

glucose isnt completely broken down, so less energy is transferred
