Cards (5)

  • Is cellular respiration endothermic or exothermic?
    Exothermic
  • Respiration is used to maintain body temperature, muscular contraction and building large molecules from smaller one such as amino acids into proteins.
  • What is aerobic respiration?
    An exothermic reaction in which glucose reacts with oxygen to release energy which can be used by cells.
  • Where does aerobic respiration take place?
    Mitochondria
  • Why do organisms require the energy released by respiration?
    Synthesis of larger molecules
    ● Muscle contraction
    ● Maintenance of body temperature
    ● Active transport
