Repsiration

Question 1

Describe the levels of organisation within organisms

Answer 1

Organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems

Question 2

How does the process of respiration produces ATP (energy) in living organism?

Answer 2

Respiration occur in cells (mitochondria) and oxygen reacts with glucose and then carbon dioxide, water and energy are released

Question 3

What does ATP provides for cells ?

Answer 3

Energy

Question 4

What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Answer 4

Aerobic:
Produces carbon dioxide and water, uses oxygen.

Anaerobic:
Produces lactic acid, contributes to muscle tiredness, glucose is not broken down completely

Question 5

What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?

Answer 5

Oxygen+ glucose= carbon dioxide+ water

Question 6

What is the balanced symbol equation for aerobic respiration?

Answer 6

C6H12O6+ 6O2=6CO2+6H20

Question 7

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals ?

Answer 7

Glucose= lactic acid+ energy

Question 8

Why does anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic respiration in your muscles ?

Answer 8

Because energy remains in the lactic acid that is produced

Question 9

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in plants?

Answer 9

Glucose= lactic acid + ethanol + energy
