1
What is cellular respiration?
An exothermic reaction which is continuously occurring in living cells. The energy transferred supplies all the energy for living processes.
2
Compare the processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Aerobic needs oxygen to work.
Aerobic produces CO2 + water, anaerobic produces lactic acid.
Aerobic respiration produces much more energy per glucose molecule than anaerobic respiration.
Both need glucose.
3
What do organisms need energy for?
Chemical reactions to build larger molecules.
Movement
Keeping warm
4
What is the equation for aerobic respiration?
glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water
C6 H12 O6 + O2 = CO2 + H2O
5
What is the equation for anaerobic respiration in muscles?
glucose = lactic acid
6
What is the equation for anaerobic respiration in plant and yeast cells?
glucose = ethanol + carbon dioxide
