Respiration

• Breathing (Respiration)


  The process by which we take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide.
• Respiration


  The process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
• Anaerobic Respiration


  Breaks down glucose to produce energy quickly, in the absence of oxygen.
• Aerobic Respiration


  Breathes down glucose to produce energy slowly, when there is enough oxygen.
• Circulation


  The process by which the body distributes oxygen and nutrients to its cells and removes waste products.
• Anaerobic Respiration: Glucose + oxygen ---> lactic acid + energy
• Aerobic Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
