Respiration Flashcards
science
name the 4 main parts of an animal cell
cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria.
name the differences between an animal cell and a plant cell
plant cell has a vacuole , chloroplasts and a cell wall
where does aerobic respiration take place?
in the mitochondria
where does anaerobic respiration take place?
in the cytoplasm
what is the purpose of respiration?
to provide cells with the energy they need to function
what is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
glucose+oxygen=carbon dioxide+water+lots of energy released
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals?
glucose=lactic acid+some energy released
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in plants?
glucose=ethanol+carbon dioxide +some energy released
name a type of specialised cell
red blood cell
what is the job of a red blood cell?
to transport oxygen to body tissues for respiration
what is gas exchange
the process of taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide, primarily occurs in the lungs, specifically at tiny air sacs called alveoli
what is the equation for the process of respiration when oxygen is available
C6H12O6+O2=6CO2+6H2O
