Respiration-
Respiration is the process that all cells within the human body and other animal
cells carry out in order to supply themselves with energy. Respiration within cells
is a vital procedure as the result of respiration is ATP which acts as a storage for
chemical energy. The body is heavily dependent on this chemical energy as it is
what keeps its cells alive. Furthermore, without chemical energy it would be
difficult for cells to carry out bodily functions such as muscle contractions.
Respiration involves the extract of energy from the food that we consume
(specifically from glucose as most of the food that we consume ends up as
glucose in the body). Glucose is a sugar composed of 6 carbon molecules. In
respiration, glucose and oxygen react together to produce carbon dioxide and
water which eventually releases energy.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO 2 + 6H2O + ATP
Glucose + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + water (+energy)
Although respiration produces sufficient amounts of energy, the body can’t use
the energy produced straight away so in order to use the energy, it firstly has to
be turned into a form of stored energy called Adenosine Triphosphate.
The process of converting glucose into ATP is complex and doesn’t happen all at
once. It consists 4 different stages. Stage 1 does not actually require any oxygen
in order to take place, however stages 2 to 4 do require oxygen.
