Respiration

Respiration

1. Aerobic Respiration

   • Breathing is necessary for respiration
     • This is because areobic respiration uses oxygen
   • Aerobic respiration is a chenical reaction that breaks down glucose from food using oxygen
   • Glucose + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + Water (+ Energy)

2. Anaerobic Respiration

   • It does not use oxygen
   • Word Equation
     • glucose → lactic acid (+ energy)
   • It happens when there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration
   • Much less energy is released by anaerobic respiration than by aerobic respiration

3. Respiration takes place in the cytoplasm of cells

4. Respiration takes place in every living being

5. Respiration IS NOT breathing in and out

6. Carbon dioxide and water are waste products removed from the body via the lungs, skin and kidneys.
