module 9 (respiration) Flashcards
whats the word equation for aerobic respiration?
glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + ATP (energy)
whats the chemical equation for aerobic respiration?
C(6)H(12)O(6) + 6O(2) -> 6CO(2) + 6H(2)O
define respiration
a chemical reaction which happens in all living cells which releases energy from glucose
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration?
glucose -> lactic acid + energy
what is the chemical equation for anaerobic respiration?
C(6)H(12)O(6) -> 2C(2)H(5)OH + 2CO(2)
what does the circulatory system do?
carries substances needed for respiration to our bodies cells and waste products away from our cells
how does oxygen get to the cells?
red blood cells collect oxygen and carry it to the cells
how does glucose get to the cells?
it is digested and absorbed into the blood in the small intestine, blood carries glucose to the respiring cells
what does the respiratory system do?
allows the inhalation and exhalation of air
