Respiration

Aerobic Repiration

When there is oxygen, the glucose molcules and the oxygen combine inside of cells to produce energy. This reaction is catalysed by enzymes.

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water (+ Energy)

It mainly occurs inside of the mitochondria  and it is continuous because we require energy for:

• Build large moleucles from small one
• Contracting muscles
• Maintaining the body temperature when it is too cold
• Turning amino acids into protein

Exercising

The rate of respiration increases because more energy is need so the breathing is increased to…
