| Question | Answer |
| Define Respiration | Respiration is a process in which energy is release due to the break down of glucose and constantly occurs in all of our cells |
| What are three uses of the energy transferred in Respiration? | -Movement (in animals) -Building larger molecules (eg. proteins from amino acids) -Maintain body temperatures |
| Define Aerobic Respiration | Is Respiration that uses oxygen |
| Define Anaerobic Respiration | Is Respiration that occurs without any oxygen (usually is carried out during vigorous exercise) |
| Equation of Aerobic Respiration | Glucose + Oxygen ---> Carbon Dioxide + Water + (Energy) |
| Equation of Anaerobic Respiration in Animals | Glucose ---> Lactic acid + (Energy) |
| Equation of Anaerobic Respiration in Plants and Yeast | Glucose ---> Carbon Dioxide + Ethanol + (Energy) |
| Which Respiration gives out the most amount of energy? | Aerobic |
| Why does heart and breathing rate remain high after exercise? | Lactic acid is oxidises, repaying the oxygen debt. Lactic acid + Oxygen ---> Carbon Dioxide + Water |
