Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
What is the equation for respiration?
A
Glucose + Oxygen = Water + Carbon dioxide.
C6H12O6 + O2 = H2O + CO2
2
Q
How do you BALANCE the respiration equation?
A
C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6H2O + 6CO2
3
Q
What type of reaction is respiration?
A
Respiration is an exothermic reaction. Energy is given out.
4
Q
What is anaerobic respiration?
A
This is respiration WITHOUT oxygen.
5
Q
What is the equation for anaerobic respiration?
A
Glucose ➡️ Energy + lactic acid
6
Q
What does lactic acid do?
A
This builds up in muscles, creating oxygen debt.
7
Q
Explain anaerobic respiration in yeast.
A
Yeast + glucose ➡️ Carbon dioxide + Ethanol.
