respiration Flashcards
aerobic respiration
chemical reaction that take place in the mitochondria which use O2 to break down glucose into other nutrients to release energy
equation respiration
glucose + oxygen —> CO2 + water
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O
anaerobic respiration
chemical reaction in cells that break down glucose to release energy without using oxygen. less efficient
happens in cytoplasm
happens with high intensity
equation anaerobic respiration
( for yeast)
glucose —> alcohol + carbondioxide
C6H12O6 —> 2C5H5OH + 2CO2
equation anaerobic respiration
(for humans)
glucose —> lactic acid
terrestial
diffusion from the air
aquatic
diffusion from the water
alveoli structure
where gas exchange happens
tiny capillaries wrap around each
permeable
thin
close to transport system to take gases to and from
large surface area
good supply to O2
gas exchange in humans step 1
air enters through the mouth or nose. Goblet cells produce liquid made of water and mucus which traps dust
gas exchange in humans step 2
air passes through the trachea.
gas exchange in humans step 3
air enters the thorax. trachea splits into 2 bronchi. 1 bronchus goes to the lungs then splits into many bronchioles
gas exchange in humans step 4
air enters the alveoli
