Respiration Flashcards
Topic 2 F
Respiration is
the process of transferring energy from glucose. it goes on in every cell in your body
where does respiration happen
in every cell of your body
can the energy transferred in respiration be used directly by the cells ?
no
what is the energy produced by respiration used for
to make a substance called ATP
what does ATP do
stored the energy needed for many cell processes
what type of reaction is respiration
a chemical reaction
from where is energy released in respiration
glucose
how is ATP made
during respiration, glucose is broken down and several ATP molecules are produced
what does ATP release and how
it can be broken down to release energy for living processes to happen within cells and organisms.
what are some processes that need the energy given by ATP ( 3)
- keeping warm
- muscle contractions for movement
- chemical reactions
aerobic respiration needs
oxygen
what is aerobic respiration defined as
the chemical reaction in cells that uses oxygen to break down nutrient molecules to release energy
what is aerobic respiration ( what happens)
complete breakdown of glucose to release a relatively large amount of energy for use in cell processes and reactions
what are the waste products of aerobic respiration
carbon dioxide + water
word equation of aerobic respiration in humans
oxygen + glucose —— carbon dioxide + water
