CELLULAR RESPIRATION
16.1 TYPES OF RESPIRATION:
AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
(a) State the needs for energy and the role of respiration in
living organisms
(b) Describe aerobic and anaerobic respiration and the
requirement for such conditions
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
DEFINITION:
A process occur in cells that breakdown
complex organic molecules into simple
molecules (catabolic reaction)
To produce ATP
Involves redox reaction
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
NEEDS OF ENERGY
Active transport
Movement (muscle contraction)
Reproduction and growth
Excretion
ROLES OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION
Main function:
• To produce energy required by living organism
• In the form of :
i) ATP
To be used in performing work
Instant source of energy for living
organisms
ii) Heat energy
ROLES OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION
Energy flows into
ecosystem as sunlight and
leaves as heat
Photosynthesis generates
O2 and organic molecules,
which are used in cellular
respiration
Aerobic
respiration Requires oxygen
Anaerobic
respiration Doesn't require oxygen
AEROBIC RESPIRATION
A complete oxidation of organic compound
(glucose)
To produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP
Occur in presence of oxygen
In animal,
C6H12O6 2 CH3CH(OH)COOH+ ATP
