The Process Of Respiration And The Factors That Can Effect It Flashcards
1
Q
How is respiration used ?
A
Respiration is used to release energy for use in cells
2
Q
What happens when oxygen is available during respiration?
A
When oxygen is available, yeast, plant and animal cells use glucose to produce carbon dioxide and water
3
Q
What happens when oxygen is not available during respiration?
A
Without oxygen yeast and plant cells use glucose to produce alchohol and carbon dioxide / animal cells use glucose to produce lactic acid
4
Q
How does oxygen affect respiration?
A
More energy is released per glucose molecule
5
Q
How is respiration controlled ?
A
The process is enzyme controlled in all cases and so is affected by temperature
