5. What is respiration? What is gaseous exchange?

6. What is respiration? Respiration is the release of energy from the breakdown of glucose, by combining it with oxygen inside living cells. What is gaseous exchange?

7. What is respiration? Respiration is the release of energy from the breakdown of glucose, by combining it with oxygen inside living cells. What is gaseous exchange? Gaseous exchange is the movement of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) into and out of an organism.

8. Respiration – two sorts Aerobic respiration - in the presence of oxygen. Involves the complete breakdown of glucose. Provides more energy. End products in animals and plants: carbon dioxide and water

9. Respiration – two sorts Aerobic respiration - in the presence of oxygen. Involves the complete breakdown of glucose. Provides more energy. End products in animals and plants: carbon dioxide and water Anaerobic respiration - in the absence of oxygen. Involves the incomplete breakdown of glucose. Provides less energy. End product in animals – lactic acid. End product in plants - ethanol

10. Aerobic respiration Glucose + oxygen  carbon dioxide + water + energy

11. Aerobic respiration Glucose + oxygen  carbon dioxide + water + energy C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

12. Aerobic respiration Glucose + oxygen  carbon dioxide + water + energy C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy What do you notice?

13. Photosynthesis Light 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Chlorophyll

14. Glucose Blood capillary Muscle cell

15. Glucose Blood capillary Glucose + Oxygen Muscle cell Glucose and oxygen diffuse from the blood into the muscle cell

16. Glucose Deoxygenated red blood cells Blood capillary Glucose + Oxygen  Carbon dioxide + Water Muscle cell Glucose and oxygen diffuse from the blood into the muscle cell Carbon dioxide and water diffuse from the muscle cell into the blood

17. Glucose Deoxygenated red blood cells Blood capillary Energy Glucose + Oxygen  Carbon dioxide + Water Muscle cell Glucose and oxygen diffuse from the blood into the muscle cell Carbon dioxide and water diffuse from the muscle cell into the blood Energy is used for muscle contraction

18. Levels of Organisation A. Cells

19. Levels of Organisation A. Cells Mitochondria - organelles inside the cell where cellular respiration takes place. They absorb glucose and oxygen, release the energy and then convert it into forms that are usable by the cell. Mitochondria are more numerous in active cells such as muscle cells.

20. Why anaerobic respiration? If it is so inefficient compared with aerobic respiration, why do cells bother? Sometimes our muscles are working so hard that the lungs and bloodstream cannot deliver oxygen fast enough, so the muscles must respire anaerobically. This can lead to a build up of lactic acid in the muscle.

21. Why anaerobic respiration? If it is so inefficient compared with aerobic respiration, why do cells bother? A lactic acid build-up in muscles can result in cramp, an unpleasant and often painful sensation caused by muscle contraction or over-shortening.

22. Why anaerobic respiration? If it is so inefficient compared with aerobic respiration, why do cells bother? In order to break down the lactic acid the body needs more oxygen  OXYGEN DEBT

23. Why anaerobic respiration? If it is so inefficient compared with aerobic respiration, why do cells bother?

24. Anaerobic respiration in plants

25. Anaerobic respiration in plants Glucose  ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy

26. Anaerobic respiration in plants Glucose  ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy C6H12O6 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

27. Anaerobic respiration in plants Glucose  ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy C6H12O6 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 In plants, anaerobic respiration (respiration without oxygen) is known as fermentation. This process is commonly used to our advantage in the production of beer and ales, and wine.

33. What is respiration? Respiration is the release of energy from the breakdown of glucose, by combining it with oxygen inside living cells. What is gaseous exchange? Gaseous exchange is the movement of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) into and out of an organism.

34. What is gaseous exchange? Gaseous exchange is the movement of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) into and out of an organism. Gaseous exchange is brought about by the actions of the breathing system (also referred to in some textbooks as the respiratory system)

35. The Breathing System

36. The Breathing System Trachea – surrounded by rings of cartilage to stop it collapsing

37. The Breathing System Trachea – surrounded by rings of cartilage to stop it collapsing Ribs – these protect the contents of the thorax. There are 12 pairs of ribs in both men and women.

45. Alveolus (plural alveoli) Where oxygen and carbon dioxide move between the lungs and the blood stream.

46. Bronchiole Alveolus There are millions of alveoli in each lung, very close to blood capillaries

47. Bronchiole Alveolus 1 1. Deoxygenated blood flow from the tissues, rich in carbon dioxide

48. Bronchiole Alveolus 2 2. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood stream into the alveoli, and then into the bronchiole

49. Bronchiole Alveolus 3 3. Oxygen diffuses from the bronchiole into the alveoli and then into the red blood cells.

50. Bronchiole 4 Alveolus 4. Oxygenated blood now leaves the alveoli and carries oxygen to the tissues.
