Respiration Flashcards
(18 cards)
What type of reaction is respiration
Chemical reaction
Where does respiration take place
mitochondria
What does respiration release
Energy
What is the word equation for respiration
Oxygen + glucose -> carbon dioxide + water
What is the symbol equation for respiration
6 o2 + c6H12O6 -> 6 co2 + 6h2O
What is anerobic respiration
When releasing energy no oxygen is used
Name one organism that can respire anerobically
Yeast
List three ways in which anerobic respiration differs in humans from aerobic respiration
No oxygen
Less energy released
Alcohol and lactic acid made
What are the 2 types of respiration
Anerobic and aerobic
Is respiration endothermic or exothermic
Exothermic
What is the name of the ion and acid to make proteins
Amino acid and nitrate ions
When glucose molecules are joined together what do they make
Starch
Glycogen
Cellulose
Give two examples of how animals use the nervy transferred by respiration
1) to keep them warm
2. To move about
What is metabolism
This is all the reactions that happen in a cell or the body
What is the word equation for aberobic respiration
Glucose —> lactic acid
Why do plants store starch
Small glucose molecules join together in reactions
What is an endothermic reaction
When heat and cool is absorbed from environment
What is an exothermic reaction
Releasing heat
