Respiration

• respiration


  the chemical reactions that break down nutrient molecules in living cells to release energy
• what do plants and animals use oxygen for

  turning food into energy
• what does respiration release

  energy
• where does respiration take place

  mitochondria
• What type of energy does respiration release

  energy stored in glucose and stores it in a molecule called ATP
• What can ATP be used for

  the cell to carry out activities e.g. active transport, cell division, protein synthesis
• Aerobic Respiration


  Release energy (producing ATP) from glucose by reacting it with oxygen
• Aerobic Respiration Formula


  Glucose + Oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water (+energy)
• translocation


  moves substances up and down the stem
• transpiration


  moves water from roots to leaves
