What is Respiration a process of oxidizing food

What is Respiration? Ä a process of oxidizing food to release energy inside cells

Burning of Food MA demonstration of energy released from food oxygen food (sugar) Burning energy water carbon dioxide

food(sugar) + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energy (heat + light) {does not occur in living cells because the reaction is too fast and cells would die as they become so hot

Respiration [ reactions are catalyzed by enzymes [ main food substance which oxidized in cells is glucose C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 enzymes 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + energy [ as it takes place in all living cells, it is called cellular respiration which is used to produce energy for cells to use

Comparison of Burning Respiration and | Similarities - both involve oxidative processes - both require the use of oxygen and food and they produce the same products of carbon dioxide and water - both reactions release energy

| Differences Burning Respiration Q takes place in air or oxygen Q takes place in cells Q a single-step process Q no enzymes involved Q a series of chemical reactions Q controlled by enzymes

] Differences Burning Q energy release is vigorous and not under Respiration Q energy release is slower and under control Q energy is released in form of heat and light (a form of heat and an flame can result) energy-rich compound

B A thermos flask germinating seeds Seeds killed by boiling cotton wool thermometer It is advisable not to fill the flasks completely with seeds. Why ? Ans: To provide air for the seeds to respire.

B A thermos flask germinating seeds Seeds killed by boiling cotton wool thermometer Why are the flasks supported in the upside-down position ?

Ans: The flasks are supported in the upside-down position because h carbon dioxide, produced during respiration of the living seeds, is a heavier gas and may escape through the cotton wool. h hot air rises up, and inverting it will ensure that heat will not escape through the cotton wool. h it is easier to read thermometer as thermos flasks are not transparent.

Uses of the Energy Released during Respiration Human Other Animals Plants § muscle § produce light § keep warm § produce sound § transport food contraction in fireflies § absorb food by § active transport in some birds produce smell in some mammals § absorb mineral salts by active transport substances

ATP ª energy is mainly released as heat and ATP during respiration in cells ª however, during respiration, some ATP should be consumed first before other ATP can be formed ª the ATP consumed is used to form other ATP from ADP and phosphate groups

ADP + phosphate + energy ATP (from breakdown of glucose) ª ATP is a high-energy compound while ADP is a low-energy one ª ATP can only store energy for a short period ª ATP is made inside organelles, mitochondria, which is scattered in the cytoplasm of a cell

Anaerobic Respiration « respiration in human is mainly aerobic respiration as oxygen is essential « when oxygen is not needed during respiration, it is called anaerobic respiration « yeast and muscle cells are examples which they can respire anaerobically for a short time

Alcoholic Fermentation © without oxygen, yeast cells respire as follows: C 6 H 12 O 6 enzymes 2 CO 2 + 2 C 2 H 5 OH + energy (ethanol) © amount of energy released anaerobically is smaller when compared with the aerobic method

aerobic respiration anaerobic respiration amount of energy released large small oxidation of glucose completely place of occurrence mitochondria partly cytoplasm

Industrial Use of Yeast Fermentation V alcohol produced is used for: K brewing beer K making wine V carbon dioxide released is used for: K baking bread

Lactic Acid Fermentation T extra oxygen is required for undertaking sternuou exercise people cannot supply enough oxygen to muscles even they breathe faster and deeper

muscle need to produce energy anaerobically by breaking down glucose into lactic acid C 6 H 12 O 6 enzymes 2 C 3 H 6 O 3 + energy T lactic acid will cause muscle fatigue and muscle cramps if they are allowed to accumulate

T a large amount of oxygen is needed to break down the accumulated lactic acid into carbon dioxide and water or turn to glycogen in liver for storage so we pant after doing exercise T the amount of oxygen required to get rid of lactic acid is called oxygen debt
