Respiration Flashcards
What is respiration?
this is the release of energy from glucose in cells of living organisms
What are the two types of respiration?
Aerobic Respiration and Anaerobic Respiration
Definition of Aerobic Respiration?
The release of energy from glucose in the presence of oxygen or ain
Definition of Anaerobic Respiration?
The release of energy from glucose with absence of oxygen
What are the reactants of Respiration?
Reactants- glucose & oxygen
Products- carbon dioxide, water & energy
What are the reactions controlled by?
Enzymes
Where does Aerobic Respiration take place?
Mitochondria
Worded Cell Respiration
Glucose + Oxygen > Carbon Dioxide, water, 38 ATP
Chemical Cell Respiration
C6H12o6 + 6O2 > 6CO2+6H2O+ 38 ATP
Where is energy stored in cells?
It is stored in the ATP molecule (adenosine triphosphate)
Whats another name for ATP?
Energy Currency (releases energy when the cells need it)
What is an ATP molecule formed from?
Adenosine Di-phosphate & Free phosphate molecule (inorganic phosphate molecuule)
How many energy is required for the Atp molecule to store energy.
