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
