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
