Respiration Flashcards
Respiration
Respiration is the process of transferring energy from glucose which happens constantly in every cell
Aerobic respiration
This happens when there is plenty of oxygen available aerobic just means with oxygen
Aerobic respiration equation
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O
Glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water
Anaerobic respiration
When you do really vigourous exercise your body can’t supply enough oxygen to your muscles for aerobic respiration your muscles have to respond anaerobically as well
It means without oxygen
Anaerobic respiration equation (animals)
Glucose = lactic acid (+energy)
Anaerobic respiration (plants)
Glucose = ethanol + carbon dioxide (+energy)
Respiration ATP
Energy transferred can’t be used directly by cells so she used to make a substance called ATP which stores energy needed for cell processes
