Respiration Flashcards
What is respiration
The process by which plant and animal cells release the chemical energy stored in glucose.
Respiratory substrate
Glucose
3 uses of energy when released
Muscle contraction
Cell division
Protein synthesis
ATP adenine triphosphate ?
Formed when adp and a phosphate are joined together by a chemical bond. This bond acts like an energy store and when the energy is needed the bond is broken and the energy released
Products of fermentation (plant and yeast)
CO2 ethanol energy
Products of fermentation-animal
Lactate and energy
Lactate=lactic acid
Location of fermentation
Cytoplasm ONLY
Location of aerobic respiration
Cytoplasm + mitochondria
Is oxygen required for fermentation?
Aerobic respiration?
No
Yes
