Study Notes
Respiration in Organisms
- Respiration is the process of breaking down food in cells to release energy.
- All living organisms carry out respiration to obtain energy from food.
- During respiration, organisms take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
Why do we respire?
- Organisms are made of cells, the smallest structural and functional unit.
- Cells need energy to perform functions like nutrition, transport, excretion, and reproduction.
- The stored energy in food is released during respiration.
- Aerobic respiration involves oxygen in the breakdown of glucose, producing carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
- Anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of glucose without oxygen, producing a different byproduct (e.g., lactic acid in muscles).
Breathing
- Breathing is the mechanism for taking in oxygen-rich air and releasing carbon dioxide-rich air.
- Inhalation brings in air rich in oxygen.
- Exhalation releases air rich in carbon dioxide.
- Breathing is a continuous process.
- The rate of breathing changes based on activities, like during exercise, the breathing rate increases.
Breathing in other animals
- Different animals have varied respiratory mechanisms.
- Some animals, such as insects, use tracheae for gas exchange.
- Others, like earthworms, use their skin.
- Fish use gills.
- Humans and other mammals have lungs.
Breathing under water
- Some animals, like whales and dolphins, breathe air from the surface of the water.
- Some animals, such as fish use gills to extract dissolved oxygen from the water.
Plant respiration
- Plants also respire, taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
- Plants exchange gases through pores called stomata.
Exercises
- Various exercises are included to check student understanding of the topic.
