Question

explain the type of respiration taking place in germinating seeds , also give the chemical equation involved.

Answer 1

Respiration

Respiration is the process during which organic food, mainly glucose that is present in the cell,  breaks down into simpler substances and liberates carbon dioxide and energy. The energy released during respiration is chemical energy. There are two types of respiration- aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Aerobic Respiration

Aerobic means ‘with air’. This type of respiration requires oxygen, so it is called aerobic respiration. During aerobic respiration, complete oxidation of carbohydrates takes place. Glucose is broken down by oxygen to release energy, while carbon dioxide and water are the by-products of the reaction. The released energy is used to make a special energy molecule called Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is where the energy is stored for later use by the body. Aerobic respiration occurs in plants as well as animals and takes place in the mitochondria.

The word equation for aerobic respiration is
GLUCOSE-LACTIC ACID+ ENERGY

The chemical equation is:

C6H12O6--2C2h5oh+2Co2+2ATP(energy)

Anaerobic Respiration

Anaerobic means without air. Sometimes there is not enough oxygen around for animals and plants to respire, but they still need energy to survive, so they carry out respiration in the absence of oxygen to produce the energy they require. As the respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen, incomplete oxidation of food occurs and much less energy is released. However, carbon dioxide is still produced. This is called anaerobic respiration and the process occurs in the cytoplasm.

The chemical equation is:
C6H12O6--2c3h6o3+2ATP (energy)

Answer 2

Respiration is a bio chemical process in which simple carbohydrates , like glucose, are broken down to release energy. Every cell of a living organism respires. Respiration in plants can be studied in moist terminating seeds that release CO2 during respiration. The type of respiration taking place in moist germinating seeds is aerobic respiration. The word "aerobic" means with air. This type of respiration requires oxygen. The chemical reaction for this is,
C6H12O6+6O2---->6CO2+6H2O+38ATP(energy).
