Respiration and Metabolism

Cards (5)

  • respiration
    process of transferring energy from glucose
  • metabolism
    all chemical reactions in an organism
  • aerobic respiration
    • using oxygen
    • C6H12O6+C6H12O6 +6O2>6CO2+ 6O2 -> 6CO2 +6H2 6H2
  • anaerobic respiration
    • not enough oxygen
    • glucose>lacticacidglucose -> lactic acid
    • glucose>ethanol+glucose -> ethanol +carbondioxide carbon dioxide
  • oxygen debt
    amount of extra oxygen reacting with build up of lactic acid forming harmless co2 and h2o
