Define aerobic respiration.
The chemical reactions in cells that use oxygen to break down nutrient molecules to release energy.
What are the products of aerobic respiration?
Carbon dioxide and water, along with the release of energy.
Aerobic respiration is the complete breakdown of to release a relatively large amount of energy.
Aerobic respiration is the complete breakdown of glucose to release a relatively large amount of energy.
True or False?
Aerobic respiration releases a relatively large amount of energy.
True.
The complete breakdown of glucose using oxygen releases a large amount of energy for cell processes.
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
Energy is also released.
What is the balanced symbol equation for aerobic respiration?
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O
Aerobic respiration requires to break down glucose completely.
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to break down glucose completely.
True or False?
Aerobic respiration is the incomplete breakdown of glucose.
False.
Aerobic respiration is the complete breakdown of glucose; it is anaerobic respiration that is incomplete.
Why is the aerobic respiration equation described as the reverse of photosynthesis?
The reactants and products are swapped.
Respiration uses glucose and oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water, while photosynthesis does the opposite.
In which organelle does most aerobic respiration take place?
The mitochondria.
