What is the reaction of respiration?
Keywords:
  • Aerobic : with oxygen. (1)
  • Molecule : a group of atoms, either the same or different, bonded together. (1)
  • Respiration : the process of taking in oxygen and glucose and converting it into carbon dioxide and water. (1)
  • Exothermic : a reaction that releases energy into the environment. (1)

Students should be able to describe cellular respiration as an exothermic reaction which is continuously occurring in living cells. What sort of reaction can cellular respiration be described as?

Screaming Jelly Baby Show the reaction is exothermic by modelling with the students and have them giving the heat packs to 'the environment'.

The energy transferred supplies all the energy needed for living processes. What is the energy transferred in respiration needed for?

Recap MRSGREN.

Respiration in cells can take place aerobically (using oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen), to transfer energy. In which ways can respiration in cells transfer energy?

Students should be able to compare the processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration with regard to the need for oxygen, the differing products and the relative amounts of energy transferred. What is the difference in products and amount of energy produced by aerobic respiration compared to anaerobic respiration?

Organisms need energy for: ? chemical reactions to build larger molecules ? movement ? keeping warm. What three things do organisms need energy for?

Aerobic respiration is represented by the equation: glucose oxygen --> carbon dioxide water How can aerobic respiration be displayed in a word equation?

Students should recognise the chemical symbols: C6H12O6 , O2 , CO2 and H2O. What do the following symbols C6H12O6 , O2 , CO2 and H2O represent?
