Flashcards
Respiration
Respiration
The process by which living organisms break down food to release energy. It occurs in all living things at a cellular level.
Aerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration
The breakdown of food, such as glucose, using oxygen to release energy. This process happens in most organisms.
Anaerobic respiration
Anaerobic respiration
The breakdown of food without using oxygen. This is how some organisms, such as yeast, can survive in environments lacking oxygen.

Study Notes
Respiration and Energy
- Respiration is a vital process for all living organisms, providing energy for cellular functions.
- Organisms are composed of cells, the smallest functional units, needing energy for activities like nutrition, transport, excretion, and reproduction.
- Food stores energy; this energy is released during respiration.
- Breathing, or inhaling air, provides oxygen, essential for breaking down food in cells.
- Exhaling air, or breathing out air, contains a high concentration of carbon dioxide.
- Breathing is a part of respiration.
- All living organisms respire to obtain energy from food.
Cellular Respiration - Aerobic and Anaerobic
- Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down food (glucose) using oxygen within cells.
- During aerobic respiration, glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy.
- Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.
- Organisms like yeast can survive without oxygen, gaining energy through anaerobic respiration.
- Anaerobic respiration produces alcohol and carbon dioxide under oxygen-less conditions.
Relation to Boojho's Question
- Boojho's rapid breathing, caused by running, is a result of his body needing more oxygen for increased cellular respiration related to physical activity.
- Running increases the body's need for energy, driving the need for faster breathing to supply more oxygen.
