Respiration Flashcards
what is respiration
process by which an organism exchanges gas w the environment
why does respiration occur
release energy from food and fuel cellular processes
types of respiration
aerobic
anaerobic
fermentation
how do bacteria and archaea respire
aerobically, anaerobically or both
what are obligate aerobic bacteria
need O2 to survive
what are obligate anaerobic bacteria
cannot survive with O2
what are facultative anaerobic bacteria
can grow without O2 but use it if it is available
how do fungi respire
most aerobic
what is the function of hyphae
absorb O2 form soil and move across membrane via absorption
how do plants acquire O2
stomata
lenticals
absorption through roots
5 gas exchange systems in animals
direct diffusion
integumentary exchange
trachea
gills
lungs
4 stages of respiration
breathing
gas exchange
circulation
cellular respiration
