Define respiration. What are its two types? |
|
Answer» respiration is the respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen is known as aerobic respiration. During this process, food (GLUCOSE) is broken down into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen. Energy release in this process is STORED in the FORM of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Anaerobic respiration is the respiration that takes place in the absence of oxygen is known as anaerobic respiration. In anaerobic respiration in MICROORGANISMS, glucose is broken down into ethanol and carbon dioxide with the release of energy. Lactic acid is the end-product of respiration in MUSCLE cells |
