Respiration

Cards (7)

  • Respiration
    a chemical reaction that happens in every cell where energy is released from glucose - happens in mitochondria
  • Aerobic respiration 

    glucose + oxygen —> carbon dioxide + water + energy
    C6H12O6 +6O2———-> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
  • Anaerobic respiration 

    the release of energy in the absence of oxygen
    releases less energy
  • Aerobic respiration 

    releases energy is the presence of oxygen
    releases more energy
  • Anaerobic respiration in animals
    C6H12O6 —> 2C3H6O3
    glucose —> lactic acid
  • Anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast
    glucose —> ethanol + carbon dioxide
  • Testing for carbon dioxide
    add hydrogen carbonate indicator
    red—> yellow = carbon dioxide produced
