Answer:
Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells, including plant cells and animal cells. It is the way that energy is released from glucose so that all the other chemical processes needed for life can happen. Do not confuse respiration with breathing (which is properly called ventilation).
Glucose and oxygen react together in cells to produce carbon dioxide and water and releases energy. The reaction is called aerobic respiration because oxygen from the air is needed for it to work.
Here is the word equation for aerobic respiration:
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
Energy is released in the reaction. The mitochondria, found in the cell cytoplasm, are where most respiration happens.
During hard exercise, not enough oxygen can reach your muscle cells. So, aerobic respiration is replaced with anaerobic respiration. This does not need oxygen for it to happen.
Here is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in humans:
glucose → lactic acid
Anaerobic respiration produces much less energy than aerobic respiration. The waste product, lactic acid, builds up in the muscles causing pain and tiredness . This leads to cramp. Lactic acid is only broken down when you start aerobic respiration again.
Anaerobic respiration happens in microorganisms such as bacteria because they need to release energy from glucose too. Yeast, which are unicellular fungi, can carry out an anaerobic process called fermentation. Here is the word equation for fermentation:
glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide
The ethanol (alcohol) is useful for brewers and wine-makers, and the carbon dioxide is useful to bakers because it helps their bread rise.
