- Respiration
- Respiration is the process of transferring energy from glucose which goes on in every cell - continuous
- Aerobic
- Respiration using oxygen
- Most efficient way to transfer energy from glucose
- Continuous in plants and animals
- Mainly occurs in the mitochondria
- Anaerobic
- Means "without oxygen'
- Body shifts to this form of respiration during vigorous exercise when your body can't supply enough oxygen to your muscles
- Does not transfer as much energy as aerobic respiration - glucose isn't fully oxidised (doesn't combine with oxygen)
- Useful in emergencies - allows you to use your muscles for a little longer during exercise
- Plants and yeast cells can respire without oxygen - but they produce ethanol and carbon dioxide instead of lactic acid
- In yeast cells this is called fermentation
- used to make bread and alcoholic drinks
- Carbon dioxide makes the bead rise (bread-making) and alcohol is produced (drinks industry)
