Aerobic Respiration and Anaerobic Respiration

Respiration:

- Respiration(aerobic) occurs in the mitochondria. Durig this process, energy is released from glucose.

What is energy used for?

Energy is used for:

• Cell division
• Active Transport
• Transmission of nerve impulses
• Keep conditions in the body constant, e.g temperature. (homeostatis)

Aerobic respiration:

• This is the release of energy using oxygen(glucose is oxidised)
• The first stages of respiration occurs in the cytoplasm of cells, but most of the energy is released is in the mitochondria.
