Resperation

Resperation

1. Anaerobic Resperation

   • Not enough oxygen may reach the muscles during exercise. When this happens, they use anaerobic respiration to obtain energy
   • Anaerobic respiration involves the incomplete breakdown of glucose. It releases around 5% of the energy released by aerobic respiration, per molecule of glucose.
   • glucose → lactic acid (+ little energy)
   • The waste product is lactic acid rather than carbon dioxide and water:

2. Aerobic Respiration

   • glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)
   • Aerobic respiration is the form of respiration which uses oxygen.
   • Aerobic respiration happens all the time in the cells of animals and plants. Most of the reactions involved happen inside mitochondria

3. Using Energy
