Respiration

Respiration

Respiration is when your cells break down glucose and produce ATP.


Theres Two Types of Respiration:

Aerobic: Requires oxygen

Oxygen and Glucose combine together and produces Carbon dioxide, water, and energy.


Anaerobic: Does not require oxygen

Aerobic does not require oxygen, but lactic acid is produced, and builds up in your muscles. Not to mention it produces a lot less energy.

Reflection: Respiration occurs in all living cells; Plant and Animal; by either Aerobic Respiration (Requires Oxygen) or Anaerobic (No Oxygen) so that all other processes can happen.

  1. Your post is good I like how it goes into detail about the different types of respirations. I would add something about how much energy each different type of respiration produces. I think that you could have done a better job on describing respiration.

  2. I like how your post is written. I needed a refresher on how your body produces energy and the first line of your post helped me remember. The only thing I would say you could've done is mention cellular respiration and photosynthesis, also where they occur and maybe put what ATP stands. So basically just go a little more in depth but other than that I really enjoyed reading your post!
