Cellular Respiration

Question 1

Aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Answer 1

Respiration is the release of oxygen from the breakdown of glucose
The energy used for; growth making new materials, movement and heat production

Question 2

Aerobic- biological process

Answer 2

Food glucose is converted into energy in the presence of oxygen
Formula = Glucose (C6H1206) + Oxygen 6(O2) = Carbon Dioxide 6(Co2) + Water 6(H20) + Energy (ATP)
-occurs in mitochondria

Question 3

Anaerobic - respiratory process

Answer 3

-occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes in which cells break down the sugar molecules to produce energy without the presence of oxygen
Formula = Glucose (C6H1202) = Lactic acid 2( C3H6O3)
-occurs in the cytoplasm

Question 4

Oxygen debt

Answer 4

-anaerobic respiration occurs there is a build up of lactic acid
-lactic acid damages cells and tissues, it can be broken down by oxygen
-the temporary shortage of oxygen is referred to oxygen debt
