Study Notes
Respiration
- Living and non-living entities need energy for tasks; without it, activity stops.
- The body needs energy to carry out various activities.
- Plants require energy to carry out different processes like growth, water absorption, and photosynthesis.
- Food breaks down into simpler forms to release energy through respiration, storing it as chemical energy.
- Oxidation of food materials releases stored energy using oxygen, which breaks down food and produces carbon dioxide as waste.
- Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules store the energy released.
- Energy production is continuous, represented as: Digested food (glucose) + Oxygen → Energy (ATP) + Waste products (CO₂ and Water).
Characteristics of Respiration
- Food breaks down into simpler forms.
- Energy production takes place.
- Gases are exchanged; oxygen is consumed, and carbon dioxide is released.
- These events occur in living cells of all plants and animals.
Types of Respiration
- Respiration is categorized into aerobic and anaerobic based on oxygen usage.
Aerobic Respiration
- Most organisms require oxygen for respiration.
- Depicted by the equation: Food (Glucose) + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (38 ATP).
- Food (glucose) oxidation occurs with oxygen present.
- Complete glucose oxidation yields carbon dioxide and water.
- Oxidation of each glucose molecule releases 38 ATP molecules.
Anaerobic Respiration
- Some organisms, like yeast and some bacteria, do not need oxygen.
- Represented by the equation: Food (Glucose) → Ethyl alcohol + Carbon dioxide + Energy (2 ATP).
- Glucose is not completely oxidized, and water is not produced.
- Instead, glucose is oxidized to produce ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide.
- Energy produced is much less; only 2 ATP molecules are released per glucose molecule.
- Also known as fermentation.
Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Respiration
Aerobic Respiration
- Takes place in the presence of oxygen.
- Food molecules (sugars) are completely broken down into carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
- Energy released is much higher (38 ATP molecules).
Anaerobic Respiration
- Takes place in the absence of oxygen.
- Food molecules (sugars) are partially broken down into ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide, and energy.
- Energy released is much less (2 ATP molecules).
Combustion and Respiration
- Burning petrol or wood uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide and energy as heat and light.
- Respiration is similar to combustion but differs in several aspects.
Combustion vs. Respiration
Combustion
- A fast process that occurs in non-living things.
- Occurs at high temperatures.
- Energy is produced as heat and light.
- Conversion to carbon dioxide and water occurs in one step.
- No enzymes are involved.
Respiration
- A slow, stepwise process that occurs in living things.
- Occurs at normal body temperature.
- Energy is released in steps and stored in ATP.
- No heat or light is produced.
- Multiple steps are involved, catalyzed by enzymes.
- The steps and reactions are catalyzed by enzymes.
Respiration in Plants
- Respiration is a process where living organisms produce energy from food materials.
- This energy is necessary for various life activities.
- The process is similar in all organisms, whether plants or animals.
- Carbon dioxide is released, and oxygen is consumed, producing energy.
Steps of Respiration in Plants
- Oxygen is taken in from the atmosphere through stomata.
- Stored food (glucose) is oxidized by the absorbed oxygen.
- Energy is produced in the form of ATP molecules.
- Carbon dioxide and water are produced as end products.
Investigation: Carbon Dioxide Production
- Germinating seeds in a flask release carbon dioxide, which turns limewater milky.
- Introducing water from a thistle funnel into the flask forces air containing carbon dioxide into the limewater.
- A potted green plant in an inverted bell jar can also be used to observe carbon dioxide production.
Investigation: Heat Release
- Germinating seeds in a thermos flask release heat, increasing the temperature.
- Killed (boiled) seeds in another flask serve as a control and do not exhibit a temperature increase.
Gas Exchange in Plants
- Plants lack specific breathing organs.
- Gas exchange occurs through diffusion.
- Diffusion of gases occurs through stomata, lenticels, and the general surface of roots.
- Aquatic plants diffuse gases through their body surface.
- Stomata are surrounded by guard cells containing chloroplasts and subsidiary cells, forming the stomatal apparatus.
- The stomatal apparatus consists of the opening, guard cells, and subsidiary cells.
- Guard cells are kidney shaped
- Guard cells carry out photosynthesis
Anaerobic Respiration in Plants
- Occurs in the absence of oxygen.
- Food molecules (sugars) are incompletely broken down into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide.
- Energy released is much less than in aerobic respiration.
- Yeast and bacteria use anaerobic respiration to make bread, yogurt, and vinegar.
- Fermentation is another name for this process
Investigation: Anaerobic Respiration
- Germinating seeds in a test tube with mercury produce carbon dioxide, lowering the mercury level.
- Potassium hydroxide (KOH) absorbs carbon dioxide and thus, the level of mercury will rise again.
Relationship between Respiration and Photosynthesis
- During photosynthesis, energy is obtained from sunlight.
- During respiration, energy is produced in ATP form.
- Respiration and photosynthesis occur simultaneously in plants.
- Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.
- Respiration utilizes oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
- The processes are reverse but complementary to each other.
Importance of Plants
- Plants are the primary source of oxygen for humans.
- Plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen through photosynthesis.
- Plants are essential for balancing the environment.
- Plants are called the lungs of the earth
Photosynthesis vs. Respiration
Photosynthesis
- Occurs only in the presence of sunlight during the daytime.
- Requires green pigment, chlorophyll.
- Uses carbon dioxide and water.
- Oxygen is released.
- Results in weight gain and growth.
Respiration
- Occurs all the time, even in the absence of light.
- Does not require chlorophyll; occurs in all cells.
- Uses food material (glucose) and oxygen.
- Carbon dioxide and water are released.
- Results in weight loss of plant parts.
