All living cells

Two types of respiration

Aerobic and anaerobic

Most efficient respiration type

Aerobic

Aerobic respiration equation (word)

glucose + oxygen \rightarrow carbon dioxide + water

Reaction type: aerobic respiration

Exothermic (gives out heat)

Anaerobic respiration product in muscles

Lactic acid

Energy: anaerobic vs aerobic respiration

Anaerobic releases much less energy

Four uses of energy from respiration

Building molecules, movement, active transport, keeping warm

Fermentation definition

Anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast

Fermentation products

Ethanol and carbon dioxide

Organelle for aerobic respiration

Mitochondria

Fermentation use in bread making

Carbon dioxide gas makes dough rise
