Respiration 1.1 Respiration is a seres of enzyme controlled reachions that cause the release of chemical energy from gwoose 2) The energy released from the breakdown of glucose is used to generate All by combning ADP with an additional inorganie prosphate (Pi) 3) The energy released from the breakdown of ATP can be used for muscle contractions, cell division, protein synthess and nerve fransmisions. Aerdac respiration: Glucose t oxygen → Carbon dionde + water t Eneye Is a two process: 1.) Breakdown of glucose - aglocose molecue Is sput in to another molecule called pyrovate, producing a molecules of AtP. This takes place in the optoplasm 2) Breakdown of pyruvate - pyrovate is broken down further in the mito chondra to produce carbon dioxide and water. 36 ATP Molecules ase also generated In the second stage = 38 ATP un toral. The second stage can only take placern the presence of oxygen.
