Resperation Flashcards
Definition of respiration
Release of energy from food
Why is it a biological process
It occurs in living cells
Why is it a chemical process
Because new substances are formed
What are the 2 versions of respiration
Aerobic and anaerobic
Where does AN respiration occur
In the cytoplasm
Where does the AER respiration occur
In the mitochondria
Word formula for AER respiration
Oxygen+glucose=> energy+carbon dioxide+water
Word equation for AN respiration (yeast)
glucose=> energy+carbon dioxide+ethanol
Word equation for AN respiration (mammals)
Glucose=> energy+lactic acid
Chemical equation for AER respiration
C6h12o6+6O2=> energy+6co2+6h2o
Name 3 factors of respiration
Temperature, oxygen, and water
How does water effect respiration
Enzymes effected by water (lack of water: resp slows down)
How does oxygen effect respiration
More oxygen: more respiration
How does temperature effect respiration
Enzymes are effected by temperature: wrong temperature means respiration won’t occur
What is the ideal temperature for respiration to occur in humans
37 degrees
What are the ideal temperatures for respiration to occur in plants
20-30 degrees
