What are the products of aerobic respiration
Answers
Explanation:
Aerobic respiration
Respiration using oxygen to break down food molecules is called aerobic respiration. 'Aero' means air, which contains oxygen, leading to the name aerobic respiration. Glucose is the molecule normally used for respiration - it is the main respiratory substrate. Glucose is oxidised to release its energy, which is then stored in ATP molecules.
The word equation for aerobic respiration is:
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ ATP made)
You need to be able to recognise the chemical formulas:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
Respiration is a series of chemical reactions, but this equation summarises the overall process. Aerobic respiration breaks down glucose and combines the broken down products with oxygen, making water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is a waste product of aerobic respiration because cells do not need it.
Answer:
- Aerobic respiration makes two waste products:carbon dioxide and water.
Animals remove carbon dioxide from their bodies when they breathe out. In daytime, plants use some of this carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. At night, they release the carbon dioxide to their surroundings.
