Bioenergetics

• What is aerobic respiration?

  A form of respiration using oxygen
• What does aerobic respiration release energy from?

  From molecules like glucose
• What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?

  Glucose + Oxygen → Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water
• What is anaerobic respiration?

  A form of respiration without using oxygen
• What does anaerobic respiration release energy from?

  From molecules like glucose
• What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration?

  Glucose → Energy + Lactic Acid
