Respiration

Question 1

What is Aerobic Respiration?

Answer 1

Release of a relatively large amount of energy in cells by the breakdown of food substances in the presence of oxygen
Glucose+oxygen→carbondioxide+water

Question 2

What is Anaerobic Respiration?

Answer 2

Release of a relatively small amount of energy by the breakdown of food substances in the absence of oxygen.

In Muscles: Glucose→Lactic Acid

Question 3

Disadvantages of Anaerobic Respiration

Answer 3

Only produces 1/20 of the energy per glucose molecule that aerobic respiration would.
Produces poisonous lactic acid
