Aerobic Respiration in humans Aerobic Respiration - the chemical process in which oxygen is used to release energy from glucose The difference between respiration and breathing: Respiration is the chemical reaction that releases energy, whereas breathing is the mechanical process in the lungs The chemical equation for aerobic respiration is: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water C6H 206 + 60 + 6H2 60 Spare energy is released by this reaction, which results in the exothermic reaction of producing heat Anaerobic Respiration in humans Anaerobic Respiration - releasing energy without oxygen present, we do anaerobic respiration when we are unable to do aerobic respiration. It is worse for us than aerobic respiration as it produces lactic acid which is toxic. The chemical equation for anaerobic respiration is: Glucose → Lactic Acid When you finish exercising you breathe more heavily as you have been respiring anaerobically. Your body needs to break down the lactic acid that it produced to release energy as it is toxic, it does this by taking in a larger volume of oxygen which then breaks down the lactic acid.
