What is respiration
a chemical reaction
What does respiration do
respiration is a process of releasing energy from glucose.
Energy released is used for all other chemical reactions
Give the word equation for Aerobic respiration
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water +(energy)
When does anaerobic respiration happen
when cells can’t get enough oxygen
E.G when exercising
Give the word equation for anaerobic respiration
glucose → lactic acid + energy
OR in microorganisms like in yeast
glucose → carbon dioxide + ethanol + energy
