Question

What is respiration?Explain briefly the two types of respiration? Answer in short​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a process by which living things produce energy from food. Respiration usually needs oxygen

There are two types of Respiration:

Aerobic Respiration — Takes place in the presence of oxygen.

Anaerobic Respiration –Takes place in the absence of oxygen.

Answer 2

Answer:

Respiration is defined as a metabolic process wherein, the living cells of an organism obtains energy (in the form of ATP) by taking in oxygen and liberating carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.”

Types of Respiration

There are two types of respiration:

Aerobic respiration

It is a type of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen to produce energy. It is a continuous process that takes place within the cells of animals and plants. This process can be explained with the help of the chemical equation:

Glucose(C6H12O6) + Oxygen(6O2) → Carbon dioxide(6CO2) + Water(6H2O)+ Energy (ATP)

Anaerobic respiration

It is a type of cellular respiration that takes place in the absence of oxygen to produce energy. The chemical equation for anaerobic respiration is

Glucose(C6H12O6) → Alcohol 2(C2H5O H) + Carbon dioxide 2(CO2) + Energy (ATP )
