Respiration
Cellular respiration is a vital process in all living organisms, providing energy for various biological functions. This process occurs in every cell and can be either aerobic or anaerobic, depending on the availability of oxygen. Respiration edexcel gcse biology covers both types of respiration and their importance in living systems.

Cellular respiration is the fundamental process that enables all living organisms to obtain energy from nutrients. This page provides a comprehensive overview of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, their mechanisms, and their significance in biological systems.
Aerobic respiration is the primary method of energy production in most organisms. It occurs in the mitochondria of cells and requires oxygen to completely break down glucose, resulting in a significant energy yield.
Definition: Aerobic respiration is the process of breaking down glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
The equation for aerobic respiration is:
Highlight: Glucose + Oxygen → Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water
The circulatory system plays a crucial role in aerobic respiration by supplying cells with oxygen from the lungs and glucose from the small intestine, while also removing waste products.
Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and takes place in the cytoplasm of cells. It produces less energy compared to aerobic respiration but can provide quick bursts of energy when needed.
Definition: Anaerobic respiration is the process of breaking down glucose without oxygen, resulting in the production of lactic acid in animals or ethanol and carbon dioxide in plants and fungi.
In animals, the equation for anaerobic respiration is:
Highlight: Glucose → Lactic Acid + Energy
In plants and fungi, the equation is:
Highlight: Glucose → Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide + Energy
Example: Anaerobic respiration in yeast cells is called fermentation and is used in the production of bread and alcoholic beverages.
The page concludes with a brief mention of cardiac output measurement, which is related to the body's ability to supply oxygen for respiration.
Definition: Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is calculated by multiplying stroke volume by heart rate.
Highlight: Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume × Heart Rate
This formula is essential for understanding how to calculate cardiac output A level Biology and assessing the efficiency of the circulatory system in supporting cellular respiration.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
