Study Notes
Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration is the process that involves the exchange of gases between cells and tissue fluid.
Respiratory System
- The primary function of the respiratory system is to bring oxygen into the body and remove carbon dioxide.
Cellular Respiration Equation
- The summary equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.
Oxidation of Nutrients
- Oxidation of nutrients, also known as cellular respiration, involves the burning of nutrients with the help of oxygen.
External Respiration
- External respiration is the process that involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the environment and the body.
