Where in the cell does respiration mainly happen

The mitochondria

What is glycogen?

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in your muscles and liver.

Why do you think the body stores glucose as glycogen instead of just keeping lots of glucose floating around in the blood?

So that the glucose is safe to store for later purposes and it doesn't float around because that would make the concentration of glucose too high

Why does anaerobic respiration cause pain, but aerobic respiration doesn’t?

Because anaerobic respiration builds up lactic acid

What is oxygen debt

What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?

glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy

Define respiration

Respiration is a chemical process that happens in the mitochondria of cells. It releases energy from glucose so that the body can carry out essential functions such as movement, growth, and keeping warm.

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals?

glucose → lactic acid + energy

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast?

glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy

Name some applications of anaerobic respiration

fermentation, brewing, biofuel production
