cellular respiration Flashcards
AEROBIC CELLULAR RESPIRATION
Converts glucose into energy in the presence of oxygen.
AEROBIC CELLULAR RESPIRATION word eq.
glucose + oxygen -> water + carbon dioxide + ATP
ANAEROBIC CELLULAR RESPIRATION
Converts glucose into energy when there is no oxygen present.
ANAEROBIC CELLULAR RESPIRATION WORD EQUATION
glucose -> lactic acid + ATP
Glucose
The small intestine absorbs glucose during food digestion.
It diffuses into the blood stream and is carried around the body by blood.
One molecule of glucose is required for aerobic respiration.
oxygen
Enters the body when we inhale air into our respiratory system.
It diffuses into the blood stream and is carried by the blood to body cells.
6 molecules of oxygen are required for aerobic respiration
Carbon dioxide
Diffuses out of the cells and into the blood.
Carried by the blood in the circulatory system back to the lungs where it is exhaled out of the body.
6 molecules of carbon dioxide are produced in aerobic respiration.
water
Moves from within the cells into blood nearby.
The circulatory system pumps the blood to the kidneys where it is filtered.
Excess water from the blood becomes urine and is urinated out.
6 molecules of water are produced in aerobic respiration.
ATP Energy
36-38 molecules of ATP are produced which can be utilised by the body.
