Respiration Flashcards
What is respiration?
A process that releases energy from glucose in cells.
What are the two types of respiration?
Aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
What is needed for aerobic respiration?
Glucose and oxygen.
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy
Where does aerobic respiration happen?
In the mitochondria of the cell.
What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals?
Glucose → Lactic acid + Energy
What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast (fermentation)?
Glucose → Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + Energy
Which type of respiration releases more energy?
Aerobic respiration releases more energy than anaerobic.
What is ATP?
A molecule that stores energy released from respiration.
What builds up in muscles during anaerobic respiration?
Lactic acid.
