- Respiration
- Aerobic
- glucose+ oxygen= carbon dioxide+ water+ (energy)
- Produces more energy than anaerobic
- Anaerobic
- glucose= lactic acid + (oxygen)
- Oxygen debt - oxygen needed to break down poisonous lactic acid
- glucose= lactic acid + (oxygen)
- Produces less energy
- Takes place in mitochondria
- Folded inner membrane provides a large surface area
- The number of mitochondria in a cell shows how active it is and that it requires a lot of energy
- Reasons
- Energy needed to build up larger molecules
- Energy for muscle contractions
- Maintain constant temperature
- Aerobic
