Respiration Flashcards
what is respiration
the process of transferring energy from glucouse
why is ATP needed
because the energy transferred can’t be used directly by cells so it’s used to make a substance called ATP
muscles contraction
maintain body temp
metabolic reactions
what does ATP do
Stores energy needed for many cells processes
what happens when a cell needs energy
ATP molecules are broken down and energy is released
what are the difference between anaerobic and aerobic
Aerobic:
with oxygen
more efficient
produces lots of energy (ATP)
Anaerobic:
without oxygen
less efficient
Releases less energy
lactic acid
glucose partially breaks down
what is the word equation for Aerobic respiration
Glucose + oxygen—–> carbon dioxide + water ( + ATP)
What is the balanced symbol equation for aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2—-> 6co2 +6h2o
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals
Glucose—–> Lactic Acid (+ energy)
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in Plants
glucose —–> ethanol + carbon dioxide (+ energy)
