aerobic/anaerobic respiration

• how does aerobic respiration work and what is it for?

  to transfer energy from the food we eat, glucose reacts with oxygen in a series of chemical reactions called aerobic respiration
• what is the symbol equation for aerobic respiration?

  C6H12O6$\rightarrow$6CO2 + 6H2O
• where does aerobic respiration take place?

  mitochondria. energy from store in glucose to another store ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
• how does anaerobic respiration work and what is it for?

  glucose into lactic acid, without oxygen + breathing rate increases to provide cells with enough glucose/oxygen for respiration to increase
• when is anaerobic respiration used?

  when there is low oxygen levels/when alot of energy is needed to be transfered quickly
• where does fermentation occur?

  cytoplasm/in microorganisms and plant cells
• what is the equation for anaerobic respiration?

  glucos + enzymes $\rightarrow$ carbon dioxide + ethanol/lactic acid
