1. What is respiration? How does it occur?
Answers
Respiration is the biochemical process in which the cells of an organism obtain energy by combining oxygen and glucose, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (the currency of energy in cells).
Answer:
hey dear....
Here is your answer
What is respiration ?
All living organisms need a constant supply of energy.
Respiration is the process of releasing energy through
the breakdown of nutrients such as glucose.
Respiration can be aerobic (uses oxygen) or anaerobic
(does not use oxygen). Aerobic respiration takes place
continuously in both plants and animals.
how does it occur ?
It occurs through a process known as cellular respiration.
It is of 2 types:
- Aerobic respiration : Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to
break down glucose.
- Aerobic respiration can be described as the process
of releasing energy through the oxidation of glucose
molecules.
Aerobic respiration releases lots of energy from each
glucose molecule by breaking it down completely into
carbon dioxide and water.
Anaerobic respiration : Anaerobic respiration takes place
without oxygen.
Anaerobic respiration is the incomplete breakdown of
glucose. This process releases much less energy per
glucose molecule than aerobic respiration and produces
lactic acid.
Anaerobic respiration occurs when cells have
insufficient oxygen for aerobic respiration to occur, for
example, during strenuous exercise.
