Respiration

Question 1

How the process of respiration produces ATP in living organisms

Answer 1

ATP is a product of aerobic respiration
ATP is composed of an organic molecule called adenosine attached to three phosphate groups. ATP can be broken down losing one phosphate group and forming ADP

Question 2

ATP

Answer 2

Provides energy for cells

Question 3

What is respiration?

Answer 3

• Makes ATP (energy store)

- Releases energy

Question 4

What is the energy in ATP used for?

Answer 4

• Contraction of muscles
• Cell division
• Building large molecules from small ones
• Active transport

Question 5

What is the equation for aerobic respiration?

Answer 5

Oxygen + glucose —> carbon dioxide + water + (energy)

Question 6

What is the symbol equation for respiration?

Answer 6

C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6H2O + 6CO2

Question 7

What is aerobic respiration?

Answer 7

Release of energy using oxygen

Question 8

What is anaerobic respiration?

Answer 8

• Respiration without the use of oxygen

- Glucose incompletely broken down

Question 9

Give 2 examples of anaerobic respiration

Answer 9

• Yeast
