Respiration Flashcards
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose + Oxygen —> Carbon dioxide + Water
What is the symbol equation for aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H20
Is respiration endothermic or exothermic
Exothermic- transfers energy to the environment
What is respiration
The process of transferring energy from glucose, which goes on in every cell
What is aerobic respiration
Respiration using oxygen
What is anaerobic respiration
Respiration without oxygen. The incomplete breakdown of glucose, making lactic acid
Anaerobic word equation
Glucose —> Lactic acid
What is an oxygen debt
The amount of extra oxygen your body needs after exercise to react with the build up of lactic acid and remove it from cells
Word equation for anaerobic respiration in plant and yeast cells
Glucose —> Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide
What is metabolism
All the chemical reactions that happen in a cell or the body
What is an endothermic reaction
Reactions that take energy in from the environment
