Aerobic Respiration

Aerobic respiration is the form of respiration which uses oxygen. It can be summarised by this equation: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)

Anaerobic Respiration

Anaerobic respiration involves the incomplete breakdown of glucose. The waste product is lactic acid rather than carbon dioxide and water: glucose → lactic

Fermentation

Fermentation is an anaerobic cellular process in which organic foods are converted into simpler compounds, and chemical energy is produced. It occurs naturally but humans have used and controlled the process.

Biofuels

Biofuels come from the products of living organisms, such as methane biogas from decaying manure and sewage. Vegetable oils are also used as fuels for vehicles. Some of this biodiesel is made from waste cooking oil and rapeseed oil.

Food Industry

Food is one example of how globalisation has influenced society. The food-supply chain is complex and involves more countries than ever before. For example, rice grown in Thailand may be packaged in India and sold in a supermarket in the UK.
