Biology - Respiration Flashcards
Describe this experiment:
CO2 is a produced by Aerobic Respiration in all animals - even woodlice :)
What is Aerobic Respiration?
Respiration in the presence of Oxygen
glucose + oxygen ———► energy + carbon dioxide + water
What is Anerobic Respiration?
Respiration in the absence of Oxygen
glucose ——-► lactic acid + energy
Is animal respiration
Anerobic?
or
Aerobic?
Animal respiration is mainly Aerobic because Oxygen is carried to every cell by our blood.
Sometimes there isnt enough Oxygen available (eg. during strenous exercise), then repiration is Anerobic
What is Respiration?
Respiration is the release of energy from food
Where does respiration take place ?
Respiration takes place in the cell
Byproduts of Aerobic Respiration ?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Water
Byproducts of Anerobic Respiration ?
Lactic Acid
