    • Respiration: the release of energy from food
    • Aerobic respiration: release of energy from food using oxygen
    • Anaerobic respiration: release of energy from food without oxygen
    • Respiration equation: Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
    • Glucose gives energy, and since it’s the simplest/smallest carbohydrate, it can enter our cells through diffusion
    • Anaerobic respiration equation (animal): glucose = lactic acid + carbon dioxide
    • Anaerobic respiration equation: glucose = (with yeast(fungi)) ethanol (alcohol) + carbon dioxide
    • Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria
    • Respiration is a biochemical process because it forms a product but also occurs in a living thing
