repiration

Question 1

what is aerobic respiration

Answer 1

Respiration using oxygen to break down food molecules is called aerobic respiration. Glucose is the molecule normally used for respiration, Glucose is oxidised to release its energy.

Question 2

what is the word equation for aerobic reparation

Answer 2

glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy released

Question 3

what is the chemical (symbol) equations for aerobic reparation

Answer 3

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy released

Question 4

what is anaerobic reparation

Answer 4

Most organisms cannot respire without oxygen but some organisms and tissues can continue to respire if the oxygen runs out. These organisms and tissues use the process of anaerobic respiration.

Question 5

in anaerobic respiration what is glucose converted to

Answer 5

glucose → lactic acid + energy released

Question 6

yeast respire anaerobically. what is glucose converted to in a yeast cell

Answer 6

glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy released
