(f) respiration

aerobic respiration (2.37)

aerobic respiration is the process of using oxygen to break down food molecules. it occurs the mitochondria. glucose is usually the molecule used for respiration → it is oxidised to release its energy

word equation:

glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy released (ATP: adenosine triphosphate)

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy released (ATP: adenosine triphosphate)

anaerobic respiration (2.34 / 2.35 / 2.37)

anaerobic respiration

difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration (2.36)

investigate the evolution of carbon dioxide and heat from respiring seeds or other suitable living organisms
