respiration
need for respiration
contration of muscles
deliver electric impulses
active transport
building new cells
build proteins from amino acid
maintaining body temperature in homeothermic animals
for growth
for movement
peristalsis
uterus during childbirth
increase in cell number
increase in dry mass
increase in cell sixe
it is a process in which cells break down nutrients to give energy
aerobic respiration
it is a process in which cell which use oxygen break down nutrients to give energy
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O+ 2830kj (energy)
it is the most efficient process as it gives most amount of energy
it is a very slow process as glucose needs to get oxidised for energy to get released and that happens in steps
in mitochondria
the glucose molecules get oxidized hence releasing 2, three carbon molecules which release energy. then the three carbon molecules break to carbon dioxide releasing more energy
anaerobic respiration: it is the process in which cells break down nutrients to energy without use of oxygen
in yeast
in human muscles
this is very fast process
occurs when the supply of oxygen is less than the amount of oxygen our body needs
glucose= lactic acid + energy + carbon dioxide
this process does not last very long as the lactic acid causes cramps
removal of lactic acid
the heart rate remains high so it is able to remove excess lactic acid to kidneys. where rapid and deeper breathing rate ensures that there is a lot of oxygen which is required to break down lactic acid to carbon dioxide and water.
anaerobic respiration produces an oxygen debt. This is the amount of oxygen needed to oxidize lactic acid to carbon dioxide and water. The existence of an oxygen debt explains why we continue to breathe deeply and quickly for a while after exercise.
in brewing industries: yeast along with sugar into fermentation sugar is the substrate for aerobic respiration while yeast produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. carbon dioxide is allowed to escape while ethanol is packaged
C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2+ 118kj energy
