- Enzymes and Respiration
- Respiration
- All living things respire
- Respiration is the process of releasing energy from the breakdown of glucose
- Respiration releases energy that the cell need to do just about everything
- RESPIRATION is the process of RELEASING ENERGY FROM GLUCOSE which goes on IN EVERY CELL
- Aerobic respiration needs plenty of oxygen
- Aerobic respiration is respiration using oxygen
- Aerobic respiration goes on all the time in plants and animals
- Most of the reactions in aerobic respiration happen inside mitochondria
- Aerobic respiration releases energy for all kinds of things
- 1) To build up larger molecules from smaller ones
- 2) In animals, to allow the muscles to contract
- 3) In mammals and birds the energy is used to keep their body temperature steady
- 4) In plants, to build sugars, nitrates and other nutrients into amino acids. Amino acids are then built up into proteins
- Respiration
- Glucose+oxygen------> C02+water+energy
