Resource summary
Respiration
What is the equation for respiration
Word equation: Glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water + (energy)
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + (energy)
What is the point in respiration?
Used to produce energy for many metabolic processes
Break down of glucose in the body
To get oxygen into all of the cells that require it
Muscle contractions can take place
For the separation of chromosomes during nuclear division
What are the two types of respiration?
Aerobic
Produces 38 molecules of ATP
More efficient than anaerobic
Produces CO2, water and energy
Anaerobic
Used when there's is not enough oxygen to generate the energy which is required.
Instead of carbon dioxide and water being produced glucose is broken down into lactic acid
Only two molecules of ATP are made from this respiration
The lactic acid produced is toxic
