Respiration Flashcards
We take in oxygen to do what n liberate what ?
O2> breakdown of glucose to form ATP > liberate CO 2 , energy n water
At cellular level break down of glucose takes place in
Cytoplasm
6 carbon glucose breaks down into
3 carbon knwn as Pyruvate
ATP is imp y ?
To continue life processes
In presence of oxygen pyruvate breaks down into
CO2 +energy+Water
Where does the breakdown takes place when there is presence of oxygen
Mitochondria
Where does the breakdown takes place in absence of oxygen
Yeast
In absence of O2 what products are made
Ethanol ( 2 Carbon) + energy +CO2
In lack of oxygen pyruvate breaks down into
Lactic acid+ energy
Where does breakdown takes place when there is lack of oxygen
Muscle cells
Aerobic n an aerobic respiration
Rate of breathing in aquatic animals is more than territorial animals . Why
The rate of diffusion of oxygen is less in water as compared to air
What factors in which direction of diffusion is dependent on
- plant requirement
- Environmental conditions
At night what is released by plants
CO2 as there is no photosynthesis taking place . Whereas in day this CO2 is taken up by plant to produce O2 so O 2 is released in daytime
The energy released during aerobic respiration is greater than anaerobic respiration. T or F
True
