- Respiration
- Aerobic Respiration
- Needs plenty of oxygen
- Most efficient way to release energy from glucose
- Happens all the time in plants and animals
- Mostly happens in the mitochondria
- Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbons Dioxide + Water +Energy
- Anaerobic Respiration
- Glucose -> Energy + Lactic Acid
- Is used if not enough Oxygen
- Happens when you do vigorous exercise and your body can't supply enough oxygen to your muscles
- Incomplete breakdown of glucose
- Lactic acid build up in the muscles is painful
- Also causes muscle fatigue
- Muscles stop contracting efficiently
- Doesn't release as much energy as aerobic
- Respiration is the process of Releasing Energy from Glucose, whcih happens in every cell
- Aerobic Respiration
