Biology B2 Topic 1 - Inside Living Cells (Respiration)

Respiration

Respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to release energy. This happens into all living organisms thats around us like plants and animals.

Aerobic Respiration is respiration using OXYGEN. This is the efficient way to release energy from glucose.

EQUATION:

GLUCOSE + OXYGEN ------> CARBON DIOXDE + WATER ( + ENERGY )           

WASTE DIFFUSE

1) The circulatory system carries glucose, oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body into the blood.

2) The glucose is needed for respiration comes from breaking food to the digestive system.

3) The oxygen comes…
