SAFOLO — 2f — Respiration

Question 1

Where does respiration occur

Answer 1

Around and within mitochondria

Question 2

Aerobic respiration (meaning, equation)

Answer 2

With oxygen
The chemical reaction in cells that uses oxygen to break down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP
Oxygen + Glucose -> Carbon dioxide + Water (+energy)
6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Question 3

What is respiration

Answer 3

Chemical reaction that uses oxygen and glucose to produce carbon dioxide and water

Question 4

Anaerobic respiration (meaning, equation)

Answer 4

Without oxygen
A chemical reaction in cells that breaks down glucose molecules to release energy without using oxygen
Glucose -> Lactic acid
C6H12O6 -> 2C3H6O3

Question 5

Anaerobic respiration in plants and fungi

Answer 5

Glucose -> Ethanol + Carbon dioxide

C6H12O6 -> 2C2H5OH + CO2

Question 6

When do we convert from aerobic to anaerobic?

Answer 6

After intense exercise, it is useful to create small amounts of energy when we cannot provide enough oxygen to our cells.

Question 7

Oxygen debt?

Answer 7

The amount of extra oxygen needed to break down the lactic acid

Question 8

ATP?

Answer 8

Adenosine Triphosphate

High energy molecule that functions as an immediate source of power for cell processes
