What is the smallest and functional unit of an organism
Cell
Name Functions of the cell. (4)
Nutrition
Transportation
Excretion
Reproduction
To perform activities, what do cells need ?
Energy
Where does oxidation of nutrients take place?
Cells
What is respiration also called as ?
Cellular Respiration
Respiration is a ———————— process.
Biochemical
Types of Respiration
Aerobic and Anaerobic
In aerobic respiration breakdown of what takes place ?
Glucose
A large amount of—————— is released during aerobic respiration
Energy
Organisms that use aerobic respiration are called
Aerobes
Formula of aerobic respiration ?
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 **————> **6 CO2 + 6H 2 O + Energy
When glucose is broken down without oxygen, then the process is called _________
Anaerobic Respiration
Organisms that perform Anaerobic Respiration
Anaerobes
In Anaerobic Respiration glucose and oxygen are broken down into ?
Ethyl Alcohol and CO2
OR
Lactic Acid
How much energy is released during Anaerobic Respiration ?
Very Little
Anaerobic Respiration Occurs in
Yeast, some bacteria and parasitic organisms such as Flatworms and Roundworms
In yeast glucose breaks down into
Ethyl alcohol and Carbon Dioxide
Yeast Respiration Formula
C 6H12O6 —–> 2C 2 H 5 OH + 2CO2 + e n e r g y
Anaerobic Respiration occurs in _________________ of humans for a _______________ time, where it produces ___________
Skeletal Muscle, Short, Lactic Acid
Anaerobic Respiration In Skeletal Muscles Equation
C 6 H 12 O 6 → 2 C 3 H 6 O 3 + e n e r g y
Why does Anaerobic Respiration take place in humans?
During rigorous Exercise, our body needs more O 2. However our body’s oxygen supply remains unchanged. Due to the temporary, deficiency of oxygen, Anaerobic Respiration takes place
Accumulation of lactic acid leads to
Muscle Fatigue
The process of anaerobic respiration is also called as
Fermentation
Parasitic Animals that respire anaerobically __________________
Roundworm and Flatworm
