Respiration Flashcards
Definition of respiration:
The relese of energy from glucose- Occurs in lving cells
What is oroduced during respiration?
ATP
What does ATP provide?
energy for cell processes
What happens when a cell needs energy?
ATP molecules are broken down and energy is released
What are the two types of respiration?
Aerobic and Anerobic
Where does aerobic respiration take place?
Mitochondira
Where does anerobic respiration take place?
Cytoplasm
What does aerobic respiration require?
oxygen
What doesn’t anerobic respiration require?
oxygen
Aerobic- Lots of energy released…
…lots of ATP produced
Anerobic- Little energy released…
…moderate amounts of ATP produced
What are the waste products of Aerobic respiration?
carbon dioxide and water
What are the waste products of Anerobic respiration? (plants and yeast cells)
Alcohol and carbon dioxide
What are the waste products of Anerobic respiration? (animal cells)
lactic acid
Chemical equation for aerobic respiration:
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 —> 6H20 + 6CO2 + ENERGY
