respiration

Cards (12)

  • Trachea
    The windpipe that connects the nose and mouth to the lungs
  • Bronchi
    The two branches that come off the trachea and enter the lungs
  • Bronchioles
    The smallest branches of the respiratory tree that lead to the alveoli
  • Alveoli

    Tiny air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles where gas exchange occurs
  • Number of bronchi

    There are two bronchi, one for each lung
  • Where does gas exchange happen in the lungs?
    the alveoli
  • The gas that enters the blood stream from the lungs is oxygen
  • Equation for aerobic respiration

    Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy
  • Equation for anaerobic respiration in animals
    Glucose -> Lactic acid + Energy
  • Equation for anaerobic respiration in fermentation

    Glucose -> Ethanol + Carbon dioxide
  • MRS GREN
    Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproductio, Excretion, Nutrition
  • MRS GREN refers to the characteristics of living things
