Answer:
Explanation:
There are two types of respiration:
1. Aerobic respiration
2. Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
Anaerobic Respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.
Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide
This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration
The green house effect refers to gases trapping the heat energy reflected from earth’s surface.
gases trapping heat energy reflected from the earth's surface.
<u>Explanation:</u>
It is the greenhouse effect that made earth a planet that supports life. if there was no green house effect the earth would have been too cold to live on. Sunlight contains rays like UV and infrared.
UV rays being harmful are blocked by the ozone layer in the stratosphere. Infrared rays that enter the earth’s atmosphere are trapped by the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane etc. the trapped infrared rays help in providing warmth.
Energy convention: Convection is the motion of a fluid driven by temperature differences across that fluid. When a fluid is heated, the region in closest contact with the heat source becomes less dense due to increased kinetic energy in the particles. Convection is one of the fundamental ways that heat is transferred
