respiration

• Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to release the most amount of energy possible.
• In anaerobic respiration, no oxygen is used so less energy can be released.
• A chemical reaction that occurs in the mitochondria of cells in which glucose and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy.
• The equation for aerobic respiration is glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water.
• Cells which need more energy have more mitochondria
• the equation for anaerobic respiration is glucose → lactic acid
• after rigorous excersise people breathe quickly and deeply to get more oxygen into the blood. it reacts with the lactic acid to form carbon dioxide and water in the liver
• How does the body get rid of lactic acid?

  By reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water
