B2: Aerobic Respiration

• Digestive System, lungs and circulation all work to provide cells with glucose & oxygen needed for respiration.

Word Equation:

• Glucose + Oxygen ------> Carbon Dioxide + Water (+ Energy)
  • Carbon Dioxide and water = waste products
  • The energy produced is vital for everything that goes on in body

Mitochondria - the site of respiration:

• Aerobic respiration involves lots of chemical reaction controlled by different enzymes 
  • Most of them take place in Mitochondria of cell

• Mitochondria 
  • Tiny shaped parts (organelles) found in almost all parts of cells 
  • Folded inner…
