Respiration

First, convesion of flucose is take place in cytoplasm here, Glucose which is a six carbon molecule is converted into three carbon molecule called pyruvate.This happens in cytoplasm.

There are two types of respiration and these are as follow furrthur we will explain them in detail.

1. Aerobic Respiration and,
2. Anaerobic respiration

Anaerobic Respiration- The process of respiration in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. The process of anaerobic respiration takes place in yeast, the equation of anaerobic respiration in yeast is given below-:
Glucose--> Pyruvate--> Ethanol + CO₂

The process of respiration in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration.This type of respiration takes place in mitochondria.The equation of aerobic respiration in mitochondria is given below-:
Glucose--> Pyruvate + Energy --> Carbon Dioxide + water + Energy
Note: Aerobic respiration produces a lot of energy than that of anaerobic respiration.

When muscle cells lacks oxygen than the respiration which take place is given below.
Glucose--> Pyruvate --> Lactic acid + Energy
The energy which is produced in muscle cells in the lack of oxygen causes cramps.

Energy which is produced is directly consumed to synthesise a molecule called ATM(Amino Tri Phosphate).
ADP + P --> ATP
It produces energy of about 10.5 KJ/mol.

The rate of breathing in aguatic animal is much faster in compared to terrestial organisms.As they only intake oxygen dissolved in water which is very low in comparison to amount of oxygen present in air.
