all about Respiration

what is respiration

what is respiration

Respiration is the chemical process of which organic compounds release energy

distinguish Anaerobic and Aerobic Respiration

Anaerobic takes place in the absence of oxygen while Aerobic takes place in the presence of oxygen

What is the role of mitochondria in respiration

the role is to produce ATP which is the main energy current of the cell.

What is Anaerobic Respiration

Anaerobic Respiration is a form of respiration that produces energy from food in the absence of oxygen

what is Aerobic Respiration

Aerobic respiration is the process of cells breaking down sugars to generate energy in the presence of oxygen

what is the chemical equation of respiration

The chemical equation for respiration is:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP)

what is the word equation of respiration

The word equation for respiration is:

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy

how does the mitochondria produce ATP

Through a process of cellular respiration by breaking down glucose and other molecules in the presence of oxygen to release energy

what does ATP stand for

ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.

what does ADP stand for

ADP stands for Adenosine Di-phosphate.

what is ATP

ATP is the source of energy for use and storage at all levels. if a cell needs to release energy, it releases one of it’s phosphates becoming ADP

what are some of the reasons why respiration is important?

it is needed for growth ,Movement, cell division, active transport and maintaining body temperature

what are the steps of which a body is created

Cell —> Tissue —> Organ —> Organ system —> Body

What is cell division?

the creation of more cells

What is active transport?

the process of moving substances across cell membranes that require energy

what is the word equation of ATP

Adenosine+energy+Pi+energy+Pi+energy+Pi

How does ADP turn back into ATP

when it is recharged by Gluecose

what are some uses of Adenosine Triphosphate?

It is the chemical that carries energy around the body and releases energy when it’s chemical bonds are broken.
