Respiration Flashcards
What come together to form tissues
Specialised cells
What do different tissues come together to form
Organs
What are all living things made from
Cells
What do organs come together to form
Organ systems
What do organ systems come together to form
Organisms
What does multicellular mean
Things made up of multiple different cells
Organisation in the body order
Organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organisms, organisation
What are organelles
Organelles are components of a cell e.g: ribosomes and mitochondria
Organ systems in a plant
The shoot system and the root system
What does the shoot system do?
supports the plant and allows photosynthesis and nutrient transport
What does the root system do?
takes in water and nutrients from the soil and transports them to the shoot system
What are the organs in the shoot system
Flower, stem, leaf
What is the organ in the root system
The roots
What things respire?
Plants, animals, fungi, protoctists and bacteria
What is respiration?
It is a chemical reaction
What is the respiration equation?
Glucose+oxygen=CO2+water
What is glucose
A small sugar molecule
How do animals get glucose?
From their diet
How do plants get glucose
The make glucose in photosynthesis
What is carbon dioxide
A waste product
When do mammals release carbon dioxide
When we breath out
What is oxygen used for in respiration
To break down the glucose
Glucose is a store of energy so when it is broken down what is released
Energy
What can the organism use this energy for
Chemical reactions and other biological processes like muscle contraction.
What does glucose contain a lot of
Energy
When glucose is broken down where is the energy transferred to?
Another molecule called ATP
Where does ATP take the energy
Around the body
What does aerobic respiration require
Oxygen and therefore occurred in the presence of oxygen
When does anaerobic respiration occur
It occurs without the presence of oxygen
Where does respiration happen
In mitochondria and cells(+ATP)
What is ATP used for
For processes that require energy for example muscle contraction
What is ATP like
DNA
What is respiration not the same as
Breathing
What is the scientific name for breathing
Ventilation
What does respiration release
Energy stored in glucose
When do humans use aerobic respiration
When they are not short of air
When do humans do anaerobic respiration
When they are short of air
What version of anaerobic respiration do bacteria and yeast do
Fermentation
