Respiration [2.34-2.39] Flashcards
What is respiration?
-A chemical reaction carried out in all organisms
What is the equation for Aerobic respiration
Glucose +Oxygen > Carbon Dioxide +Water +ATP
(C6H12O6 +6O2 >6CO2 +6H20 +ATP)
Organisms need energy for things such as:
-Chemical reactions
-Muscle contraction
-Keeping warm
What is cellular respiration
An exothermic reaction that is continuosly occruing in living cells
How is energy transferred?
Via the molecule ATP
How and Where is ATP produced
Produced in the mitochondria
What is the equation for Anaerobic respiration
(Chemical and Word))
Glucose > Lactic acid
(C6H12O6 >2C3H603)
What is the equation for Anaerobic respiration in yeast
(Chemical and Word)
Glucose > Alchahol + Carbon Dioxide
(C6H12O6 >2C2H5OH +2CO2
