Respiration Flashcards
What is respiration
Respiration is a chemical reaction that occurs in all living cells
What is the name of the structure inside of cells responsible for respiration
Mitochondria
Respiration is an exothermic reaction
What is the word equation for respiration
Oxygen + glucose > carbon dioxide + water + energy
What is the chemical equation for respiration
602 +c6H12o6 > 6co2 + 6h20 + energy
Aerobic respiration happens with a good supply of oxygen
Anaerobic respiration happens with little oxygen or none at all
What is the anaerobic respiration equation in muscle
Glucose>lactic acid + energy
What is anaerobic respiration equation of yeast
Glucose> ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy
What is the purpose of a oil layer
Prevents oxygen from air diffusing into yeast solution
What is the colour change in limewater
Colourless to milky white
Why is the glucose solution boiled before yeast is added
To kill any microbes and remove any dissolved oxygen
Why is the solution cooled before yeast is added
So yeast cells aren’t killed by high temp

What happens when you breathe in
Diaphragm contracts and flattens, intercostal muscles contract and rob cage moves up and out. Volume increases and pressure decreases and air is drawn into lungs
What happens when you breathe out
Diaphragm relaxes and domes up. Intercostal muscles relax and rib cage moves down and in. Volume decreases and pressure increases. Air is drawn out of lungs
What is the function of bronchioles
Deliver air to all parts of the lung
Function alveoli
Site of gas exchange (1 cell thick)
Function of ribs
Protects lungs
Function of pleural membranes
Lubricates the movement of the lungs reducing friction
Function trachea
Carries air to lungs
What is the name of the gas exchange surface in a plant
Spongy mesophyll layer
How is alveoli adapted
Large surface area, reduces distance of diffusion 1 cell thick, inner surface of alveoli is moist allowing diffusing gases to dissolve increasing rate of diffusion, walls are highly permeable and moist meaning gases can move through easy.
Where is gas exchange in the plant
Stomata which is found on leaves
