Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Where does aerobic respiration take place?
A
In the cells - microchrondria
2
Q
Is aerobic respiration exothermic or endothermic?
A
Exothermic
3
Q
Is oxygen required in aerobic respiration?
A
Yes
4
Q
What takes place in ribosomes?
A
Where proteins such as enzymes are made?
5
Q
What does the cell membrane do?
A
- allows oxygen to in and CO2 to diffuse out
- allows H2O in and out
- allows glucose in
6
Q
Inner membrane
A
Has a large surface area where many enzymes are attached
7
Q
What does it mean if a cell has mitrochondria
A
It means it is very active
8
Q
What is the aerobic respiration equation?
A
Glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy e
9
Q
What is the energy (A.T.P) used for?
A
- to build large molecules from smaller ones
- muscle contraction
- producing nervous impulses
