Introduction

 

Respiration is the oxidative breakdown of organic substances (carbohydrates) inside the cell and forms CO2 and energy.

 

 

Types of respiration   

            There are two types of respiration:

 

  1. Aerobic respiration: The respiration that takes place in the presence of O2 is called Aerobic respiration.

 

C6H12O6 + 6O2    ——-à  6CO2 + 6 H2O + 686 kilo calorie energy.

 

  1. Anaerobic respiration: The respiration that takes place in athe bsence of oxygen is called Anaerobic respiration. There is incomplete oxidation of food and the form of ethyl alcohol and CO2.

 

C6H12O6   ———–à      2 CO2 + C2H5OH (ethanol) + 50 k cal.
