Respiration
is a function of the body that involves the
exchange
of
oxygen
and
carbon dioxide.
View source
Exercise
requires more
oxygen
, leading to an
increase
in
respiration.
View source
Metabolism
is the process of synthesis using glucose, which can be of two types: Aerobic and
Anaerobic.
View source
Yeast and plants use
respiration
to produce
ethanol
, which is used in making
bread
and
alcoholic
drinks.
View source
Glucose
and
oxygen
react to produce
carbon dioxide
and
water
, a process that produces
less
energy.
View source
Glucose
and
oxygen
react to produce
carbon dioxide
and
water
, a process that produces more
energy.
View source
Respiration
requires
energy
, making it
anabolic.
View source
Respiration
releases energy, making it
exothermic.
View source
Glucose
is converted to
ethanol
and
carbon dioxide
in
respiration.
View source
Glucose
is converted to
Lactic acid
in
respiration.
View source
The sum of all metabolic reactions in a cell or an organism is known as
catabolic reactions.
View source
Glycogen
,
Starch
,
Cellulose
, and
Synthesis
of
lipids
are
catabolic
reactions.
View source
Synthesis of Amino Acids requires
glucose
and
nitrates
, and
excess proteins
are
broken down
to
urea
, indicating a
higher
demand for
energy.
View source
Higher respiration rate leads to higher
heart
rate,
breathing
rate, and
breath volume
, which in turn supplies
oxygenated
blood at a
higher
rate to muscles, potentially leading to
insufficient
oxygen and
lactic acid
buildup.
View source
Lactic acid
is converted to
glucose
in the
liver
, and
additional volume
of
oxygen
is needed to react with
lactic acid
to remove it from the
cells.
View source
Larger
molecules are broken down into
smaller
ones in
catabolic
reactions.
View source
Small
molecules are joined to form
larger
molecules in
catabolic
reactions.
