Every living cell respires.
TRUE.
These are the many spaces inside the lungs which are filled with air when we breathe.
Air sacs or Alveoli
Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon dioxide + Water. This is called Aerobic Respiration. Why is it described as "aerobic"?
Because the Oxygen that combines with the glucose in this reaction comes from the AIR.
Respiration means the diffusion of gases between the air sacs and the blood.
These are the blood vessels where blood from the heart passes through and goes to the air sacs inside the lungs.
Capillaries
What is Aerobic Respiration?
Aerobic Respiration is the release of energy from Glucose by reacting it with Oxygen inside living cells.
Expired air (breathed out) contains less carbon dioxide than inspired air (breathed in).
FALSE. Expired air contains more carbon dioxide than inspired air.
This is the red pigment inside the red blood cells that helps to carry oxygen.
Hemoglobin
A force that causes a spring scale to show weight of an object.
What is gravity?
"Carbon dioxide + Oxygen" are the products of AEROBIC RESPIRATION.
FALSE. Carbon dioxide + Water
"Glucose + Carbon Dioxide" are the precursors of AEROBIC RESPIRATION.
These cells carry more carbon dioxide when they came from the heart. Then they travel to the air sacs where they get more oxygen to distribute to all the cells in the body.
Red blood cells
What is the difference between BREATHING and RESPIRATION?
Breathing = movement of air/gases into and out of the lungs
Respiration = breakdown of food to release energy, which takes place in all body cells
