Respiration

Cards (6)

  • Anaerobic Respiration
    Glucose -> Lactic Acid (+energy)
  • Aerobic Respiration
    Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water (+energy)
    C6H12O6+{C}_6{H}_1{}_2{O}_6 +6O26CO2+ 6{O}_2\to 6CO_{2}+6H2O6H_{2}O
  • Fermentation
    Glucose -> Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide
    C6H12O62C2H5OH+{C}_6{H}_1{}_2{O}_6\to 2C_2{H}_5OH +6CO2 6CO_{2}
  • Fermentation is often used in making breads and alcoholic drinks such as wine.
  • Anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic.
  • Glucose is used for many things:
    C - Cellulose
    R - Respiration
    O - Oils
    P - Protein Synthesis
    S - Starch
