Question

What is respiration? Explain the different types of respiration.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Respiration: The process of releasing energy by the oxidation of food is known as respiration. Respiration is of two types aerobic and anaerobic.

Aerobic respiration:

i. Respiration which takes place in the presence of oxygen is known as aerobic respiration.

ii. During this process, food (glucose) is broken down into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen.

iii. Energy release in this process is stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Anaerobic respiration:

i. Respiration which takes place in the absence of oxygen is known as anaerobic respiration.

ii. In anaerobic respiration in microorganisms, glucose is broken down into ethanol and carbon dioxide with the release of energy. Lactic acid is the end-product of respiration in muscle cells, while CO$$_2$$CO2 and ethanol are formed in plants.

Answer 2

Answer:

The chemical process of respiration is how organic substances release energy. There are two main types of respiration ;Aerobic and An aerobic respiration .

Explanation:

• Respiration - The method by which oxygen is used by cells to break down sugar and produce energy. Breathing is the first step in respiration; it involves taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.

• It is the process by which ATP, carbon dioxide, and water are released together with chemical energy that has been stored in the food in the form of ATP.

There are two different types of respiration :

• Aerobic  respiration -It is a sort of energy-producing cellular respiration that occurs when there is oxygen present.

• An aerobic respiration - It  is an additional form of energy-producing cellular respiration that occurs without oxygen
