Respiration Flashcards
What is respiration?
Inside cell 🧫🧬energy is released by the breakdown of glucose🍞
What takes place if oxygen is not present?
Fermentation
What takes place if oxygen is present?
Aerobic Respiration
Describe the 1 stage of aerobic respiration
Stage 1 : Glycolysis (in the cytoplasm) where 2 ATP is produced & glucose is broken into 2 pyruvate
Describe the 2nd stage of Aerobic Respiration
Stage 2 : Breakdown of pyruvate (in the mitochondria) 2 pyrvates broken in Water & Carbon Dioxide & Large ATP is produced
‼️ oxygen needed‼️
Describe the 1 stage of fermentation
Stage 1 : Glycolysis (in the cytoplasm) where 2 ATP is produced & glucose is broken into 2 pyruvates
Describe the 2nd stage in fermentation
Stage 2 : Breakdown of pyruvate (in the cytoplasm ) 2 pyrvates broken into Lactate & Ethanol + CO2 & No ATP produced
‼️ oxygen not needed‼️
What does the animal cell produce in fermentation?
Lactate Acid
What does the plant / yeast cell produce in fermentation?
Ethanol & Carbon Dioxide
Name 2 factors that affect the rate of respiration
Quantity of cells present (yeast concentration ) ✅
Temperature of apparatus 🌡️
Where does aerobic respiration occur?
in lower plants & microorganisms 🌱🌳
What can the body use energy released from respiration for?
Muscle Contraction 💪🏽
