RESPIRATION

TYPES-
1. BREATHING(PHYSICAL)- Inhalation(oxygen rich a
air)
Exhalation(CO2 rich air )
2. CELLULAR RESPIRATION- Breakdown of Glucose
for energy

CELLULAR RESPIRATION
PRESENCE OF OXYGEN  Aerobic Respiration(multi
cellular organism)
ABSENCE OF OXYGEN  Anaerobic Respiration 
.unicellular( yeast)
. multicellular( muscle cell)
GLUCOSE
[6-carbon] absence of O2 ( Cytoplasm)
.2 pyruvate or pyruvic acid
[3-carbon]

Presence of
O2
(mitochondria )
Eq- 6CO2 + H2O + energy
1)Absence of O2 ( Yeast cell) -eq Ethanol(C2H5OH)
+CO2+Energy
2)Absence of O2 ( Muscle cell) 
LacticAcid(C3H6O3)+Energy

GLYCOLYSIS
The initial step of respiration in which glucose breaks
down in the absence of O2 in the cytoplasm to give
pyruvate or pyruvic acid
Q1 what happens to the energy released during the
process of respiration ?
ans- the energy released during the process of
respiration is used to make an ATP molecule from ADP
and inorganic phosphate
ADP+P---->ADP~P= ATP
P: phosphate
Q2 why elimination of gas oxygen gas during the day and
elimination of carbondioxide at night is the major event
in case of plants
And) During the daytime, rate of photosynthesis is higher
as compared to the rate of respiration in plants. For the
photosynthesis, CO2 is taken from the atmosphere and
the oxygen gas which is produced , a part of it is used for
the process of respiration and remaining part is released
out .Thus, eli
