respiration Flashcards
definition
a process that all living organisms perform, involving the production of energy usually with the intake of oxygen and release of co2
description
cells obtain energy by combining oxygen and glucose (breaking down) to for ATP’s - the bonds are then broken to create energy
aerobic
energy formation using oxygen and glucose, forming 38 ATP’s
words - oxygen + glucose (glycolysis) =carbon dioxide + water + 38 ATP’s
symbol - 6 o2 + c6h12o6 (glycolysis) = 6 co2 + 6 h2o + 28 ATP’s
comparison
raw materials -
oxygen
glucose
enzymes
glucose
enzymes
products -
ATP (38)
co2
h2o
pyruvic acid (then into lactic acid) ethanol + co2
ATP recycled -
38 (2 used) = 36
2 (used) = 0
anaerobic
energy formation without oxygen (and or fermentation)
words - glucose (glycolysis) = pyruvic acid + ATP = lactic acid
glucose (glycolysis) = ethanol + carbon dioxided
symbol - c6h1206 = pyruvic acid + 2 ATP = Lactic acid
c6h1206 = ethanol + 6 co2
role in industry
anaerobic respiration is important because it is the only way to ferment. It allows us to acquire alcohol and make bread using the fermentation of yeast of other fungi.
