anaerobic respiration
-
this is respiration that is carried out with the lack of oxygen so the process doesn't need it the body breaks down glucose and creates lactic acid this is a lot less efficient than aerobic respiration this is because glucose isn't completely broken down because of this being incomplete then body receives far less energy
Some examples of anaerobic respiration include alcohol fermentation, lactic acid fermentation and in decomposition of organic matter. The equation is: glucose + enzymes = carbon dioxide + ethanol / lactic acid.
aerobic respiration
equation : Glucose + oxygen -----> carbon dioxide + water + (Energy)
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---------> 6C02 + 6H2O + (Energy )
this is one of the most important enzyme controlled processes in all living things During aerobic respiration Glucose reacts with oxygen this transfers energy which can then be used by your muscles to power on at high endurance for a longer duration of times . the waste product from this is carbon dioxide which is released from the body through the trachea and lungs . it is called aerobic as it uses oxygen and requires the person to take long hard breathes of air which can then react with the glucose (C6H12O6)

the need for respiration
all living creatures need energy to go thought the process pf everyday functions such a eating and drinking
in animals this energy is used to make muscles contract this happens all day every day as even when sleeping animals still need to contract the heart to make it beat and breathe so they don't die
-
metabolisim
conversion of glucose to starch, glycogen and cellulose the formation of lipid molecules from a molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids the use of glucose and nitrate ions to form amino acids which in turn are used to synthesise proteins Respiration breakdown of excess proteins to form urea for excretion.

blood vessels
arteries carry blood away from your heart towards all of the organs that make up your body this blood is oxygenated . the arteries stretch to allow blood to freely run through them then they have the ability to shrink back to original size afterwards arteries have thick muscular walls which the beating can be felt in your wrists when cut they can be dangerous as the bleeding is very hard to stop
they body has many capillaries these make up a network of vessels they link the arteries and veins together they have very narrow very thin walls this enables substances like glucose and oxygen to diffuse in and out of them and go to the cells in your body carbon dioxide can easily run through these
blood
blood is a unique tissue based on a liquid called plasma along with white , red blood cells and platelets this also carries a variety of dissolved substances around your body
red blood cells carry oxygen around the body that is taken in through respiration to the muscles that are un need to making energy to do this red blood cells have various adaptations to make them more efficient the red blood cell is the highest populated cell in the hum body
white blood cells are much bigger than red blood cells there are fewer of them they are pat of the bodies defence system against virus and desesus
platelets are small fragments of cells they are very important in the blood they often act fast when the body faces wounds they work together to form a jelly like substance that stops the wound from bleeding
removing of lactic acid
it is the livers job to remove lactic acid this is a very important job role thie blood transports the lactic acid to the liver here is is biult back up to glucose where it is less dangerous to the body oxygen debt is only repaid once all the lactic acid has been removed from the body
