Answer 6

Tissue - made of lots of same kind of cell

Organ - made up of different tissues

Organism - made of different organs

Question 7

What is respiration

Answer 7

Process of releasing energy
Occurs in mitochondria
Two types - aerobic (uses oxygen) and anaerobic

Question 8

What is respiration used for

Answer 8

Making proteins
Keep warm
Muscle contraction

Question 9

Equation for aerobic respiration

Answer 9

Glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water

Question 10

What is Anaerobic respiration

Answer 10

Doesn’t use oxygen
Less efficient
Releases less energy

Question 12

Equations for anaerobic respiration in plants and animals

Answer 12

Plants:
Glucose -> carbon dioxide + ethanol

Animals:
Glucose -> lactic acid
