Q

What are the four phases of Aerobic respiration?

A

Phase 1:
Glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid. NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Di Nucleotide) is reduced by hydrogen.

Phase 2:
Pyruvic acid molecules pass into mitochondria and transform into Acetyl CoA by separation of hydrogen and carbondioxide. NAD molecules are reduced by hydrogen molecules that separated from pyruvic acid. (NADH)

Phase 3:
(Citric Acid Cycle): It takes place in matrix of mitochondria, FADH_2 NADH and CO_2 formed in these reactions. two citric acid cycles happen for one molecule of glucose.

Phase 4:
The ETC makes up the final stage of aerobic respiration. In eukaryotic cells the electron transport chain lines the inner membrane of the mitochondrion; the inner membrane has many long folds called cristae.

43
How can Unicellular organisms provide gas exchange?
by simple diffusion through cell membrane.
44
How can some invertebrates take oxygen?
Use their wide body surface to provide enough area to take enough oxygen
45

hydra and planaria.
46
----
----
47
How can hydra and planaria provide gas exchange?

48
Explain How does organisms like earthworm provide gas exchange?
provide gas exchange by their body surface and oxygen transported to the body cells by circulatory system.
49
Define Gill.
are respiratory organs of aquatic organisms.

55
why branches of trachea penetrate all tissues?
to facilitate the diffusion of gases into all regions of the body.
56
Explain How Each trachea open into the exterior of body?
by a series of spiracle, one pair in each body segment.
57
