What is metabolism
All the chemical reactions happening in your body building up and breaking down molecules.
2
New cards
What is respiration
The chemical reaction that causes the release of energy from glucose as it is broken down.
3
New cards
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose + oxygen → water + carbon dioxide
4
New cards
What is the balanced symbol equation for aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6H2O + 6CO2
5
New cards
What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration
