Respiration Flashcards
Chemical equation of respiration
Glucose+oxygen ➡️carbon dioxide+water
What happens when glucose is broken down
The energy is releases and transferred to another molecule called ATP
What does ATP do
It takes the energy around the body where it can be used for different processes
What breaks down glucose
Oxygen
Aerobic respiration
Respiration uses oxygen
Where does aerobic respiration occur
The mitochondria of a cell
Does aerobic or anaerobic respiration produce more energy
Aerobic
Anaerobic respiration
Without oxygen
Difference between breathing and respiration
Breathing - inhaling and exhaling air
Respiration - a chemically reaction that provides energy
When does anaerobic respiration occur
During hard exercise
Chemical equation for anaerobic respiration
Glucose ➡️lactic acid+energy
Fermentation
Where anaerobic respiration produced carbon dioxide and ethanol in microoorganisms
