RESPIRATION

Question 1

understand how respiration produces ATP in living organisms

Answer 1

respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to produce energy or ATP

Question 2

what is the chemical equation and word equations of aerobic respiration

Answer 2

Question 3

what is the word equation of anerobic respiration

Answer 3

Breakdown of Glucose in the absence of Oxygen to produce Lactic acid (and small amounts of energy) in humans, and Carbon dioxide and Ethanol (and small amounts of energy) in yeast and plants; occurs during exercise and causes cramps in humans (due to build-up of Lactic acid)

Question 4

what is anaerobic respiration

Answer 4

Breakdown of Glucose in the absence of Oxygen to produce Lactic acid (and small amounts of energy) in humans, and Carbon dioxide and Ethanol (and small amounts of energy) in yeast and plants; occurs during exercise and causes cramps in humans (due to build-up of Lactic acid)

Question 5

what is aerobic respiration and where does it occur

Answer 5

Breakdown of Glucose in the presence of Oxygen to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water to release energy; occurs in the Mitochondria of the cell
