What to Focus On
- Respiration releases energy from food molecules inside cells.
- ATP is the usable energy form produced during respiration.
- Respiration occurs continuously in plants.
- Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and occurs in mitochondria.
- Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen and occurs in cytoplasm.
- Aerobic respiration gives much more ATP than anaerobic respiration.
- Plants also respire like other living organisms.
- Plants do not have specialised gaseous exchange organs.
- Stomata and lenticels help in gas exchange.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Glycolysis happens only in anaerobic respiration.
Aerobic respiration takes place only in mitochondria from the very beginning.
Glycolysis produces a net gain of four ATP molecules.
Memory Tips
