Releasing Energy / Respiration

Question 1

How do you test for carbon dioxide

Answer 1

Put a slightly small amount of lime water in a boiling tube (the lime water will be transparent at the time) then using a straw you continuously blow into the lime water and if it turns cloudy/milky there is CO2

Question 2

What are the main gases in the atmosphere with their percentages

Answer 2

78% Nitrogen
21% Oxygen
0.04% Carbon Dioxide

Question 3

What is the equation for aerobic respiration

Answer 3

Glucose (from the digestive system) + Oxygen (from the respiratory system) — Carbon Dioxide (exhaled waste product) + Water (+energy)

Question 4

What does Respiration produce

Answer 4

Respiration produces ATP which can be broken down to release energy

Question 5

What does ATP stand for

Answer 5

Adenosine Tri Phosphate

Question 6

What is Adenosine Tri Phosphate

Answer 6

Adenosine Tri Phosphate is a complex organic chemical that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells.
