What is released when sugar is broken down

Biology
1 answer:
Lilit [14]3 years ago
5 0
Mainly there's 3 types of respiration (the breakdown of sugar to release energy). Aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration in muscles and anaerobic respiration in organisms such as yeast.

Aerobic respiration is to use oxygen and glucose to release water and carbon dioxide. Most of our cells undergo aerobic respiration to generate energy.

Anaerobic respiration in muscles is to only use glucose to generate lactic acid and energy (not carbon dioxide). Anaerobic respiration only happens when we have lack of oxygen, such as during vigorous exercises. Note that this kind of respiration creates a oxygen debt.

Anaerobic respiration in yeasts is to use glucose and release ethanol and carbon dioxide. Since they release ethanol, this respiration is commonly used in wine brewing. And due to that they also release carbon dioxide, they're used in baking bread (alcohol evaporates by the time the bread bakes).

Define and give an example for the two different kinds of bonds: covalent and ionic
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Covalent bond (molecular bond): a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
1. Non-polar covalent bond: the electrons are shared equally between atoms
ex: CH₄ (methane)
2. Polar covalent bond: the electrons are not shared equality between atoms
ex: H₂O (water)

Ionic bond: a chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges
ex: NaCl (sodium chloride)


To know the difference between ionic and covalent bonding, one must first understand the chemical difference between sharing electrons and being attracted by charges to one another.

Every atom wants to fulfill the octet rule, or, getting to a stable 8 electrons in its outermost shell. (Having 8 valence electrons)

Atoms in covalent bonds do this by sharing electrons. A good analogy to express this would be if there was a toy that we both wanted, but there was only one of them. Instead of you or I having it to ourselves, we would share. This is what atoms in covalent bonds do.

Atoms in ionic bonds do this by transferring electrons. Sodium loses an electron and chlorine gains an electron (becoming chloride). This is like you taking the toy to yourself. Now because sodium is now a positive ion and chloride is a negative ion, the two come together because opposite charges attract.


I really hope this helps!

Best wishes!:)
