Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Respiration
A
respiration is the process used to release energy.
2
Q
Aerobic equation
A
Oxygen + glucose —–> water + carbon dioxide
6O2 + C6H12O6 ———> 6H20 +6CO2
3
Q
Anaerobic equation
A
glucose ——-> lactic acid
4
Q
Alcoholic fermentation
A
glucose —–> ethanol +carbon dioxide
5
Q
Alike (4)
A
- Release energy
- Require Glucose
- Both chemical reactions
- release CO2 (not in humans)
6
Q
Differences (4)
A
- Oxygen - aerobic needs it, anaerobic doesn’t
- Where it occurs - aerobic = mitochondria, anaerobic = cytoplasm
- Productions - aerobic produces water, anaerobic produces lactic acid or ethanol.
- Amount of energy - aerobic = a lot of energy, anaerobic = less energy
