 RESPIRATION
* Definition
→ The
process of realising energy from food is called respiration .

Glucose is the best source

of energy

exhaling the air in and out of lungs .

2) It takes place in cells . It takes place in

lungs .

3) It is a chemical involuntary price . It is a physical voluntary process .

4) Energy is released in ATP

form . No
energy
is
produced during process .

3) Eixample : Humans Example : Yeast , Bacteria

STEPS OF RESPIRATION
9) Breaking down glucose into pyruvate

This step happens in the

cytoplasm .

Glucose molecule is broken down into pyruvate .

-
Glucose molecule is
composed of 6 carbon atoms , while pyruvate
is composed of carbon atoms .

2) The pyruvate maybe converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide .

This takes places in yeast during fermentation

process
-

-
Since this
process takes place in the absence of air ( oxygen) ,
it is

called anaerobic respiration .

3) Breakdown of pyruvate using oxygen takes place in the mitochondria .

4) This process breaks

up the three -
carbon pyruvate molecule to
give
three molecules of carbon dioxide .

The other product is water

-

5) Since oxygen) it
this process takes place in the presence of air ( ,
is called
aerobic respiration .

The release in this aerobic is lot greater

of energy process a
-

than in the anaerobic

process .

* Pain in
Leg Muscles on
Running
→
When someone runs too fast ,
he
may experience a
throbbing
pain in the leg muscles .

-
This
happens because
of anaerobic respiration taking place in the
muscles .

During running ,
the energy demand from the muscle cells increases .

-
This is compensated by anaerobic respiration and lactic acid is

formed in the
process .

The deposition of lactic acid causes the pain the leg muscles .

-
The pain subsides
after taking nest
for some time .

from the body .

Different organisms different methods for intake

B.
use
of oxygen and

expulsion of carbon dioxide .

Diffusion is the method which is utilised by unicellular and some

-

simple organisms for this purpose .

In plants also , diffusion is utilised for exchange of gases .

animals does the of

In complex respiratory system job exchange of
-

gases .

* Gills are the respiratory organs for fishes .

fishes take in dissolved in water ;

oxygen ; which is through gills
-
.

Since is less in the

availability of oxygen aquatic environment so
-

the breathing .

rate
of aquatic organisms is
faster .

Insects have a system of spiracles and tracheae which is used

-

for taking in
oxygen .

*
Terrestrial organisms have developed lungs for exchange of gases .

Availability of oxygen is not a

problem in the terrestrial environment

so breathing rate is slower compared to what it is in

fishes .

HUMAN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

4 The human respiratory system Is composed of a
pair of lungs .

These are attached to a system of tubes which the outside

open on
-

through the nostrils .

following are the main structures in the human respiratory system .

 NOSTRI
4 There are two nostrils which converge to form a nasal
passage .

The inner
lining of the nostrils is lined buy hairs and remains
-

to the hairs help dust

wet due mucus and in
filtering the

particles out
from inhaled air .

further , air is warmed when it enters the nasal

up passage
-
.

PHARYNX
GIT is a tube like structure which continues after the nasal

passage
.

LARYNX
4 This the
part comes
after pharynx .

-
This is also called the voice bow .

TRACHEA
4 This is
composed of rings of cartilage .

Cartilaginous rings prevent the

collapse of trachea in the absence

of air .

BRONCHI
A from the trachea ; with
pair of bronchi comes out one

bronchus going to each

lung .

BRONCHIOLES
DA bronchus divides into branches and sub -
branches ; inside the
lung .
 ALVEOLI
These are air -
sacs at the end of bronchioles .

Alveolus is
composed of a thin membrane and is the place where
very
-

blood capillaries open

.

This is alveolus ; where mixes with the blood and carbon dioxide
oxygen
-

exists from the blood .

-
The
exchange of gases ; in alveoli ; takes place due to
pressure
differential .

Mechanism of Breathing
*
Breathing : Inhalation of Oz and exhalation of CO2 is
called
breathing .

→
Breathing completes in two steps -

A) INHALATION
9) Chest muscles contract upward .

ii) Volume of rib increases

cage .

iii) Air pressure decreases inside the lung cavity .

iv) To maintain the rushes inside from outside

pressure .
B) EXHALATION
i) chest muscles downward
expand .

%) Volume of ribcage decreases .

Air pressure increases inside the

lung cavity .

iv) To maintain pressure air rushed outside

from inside .

Answer .

9) The that terrestrial have

advantage a
organism over an aquatic
that is these terrestrial take
from the
organism organisms oxygen oxygen
-

rich atmosphere through respiratory organs and have less breathing rate
than aquatic organism .

Whereas aquatic organisms use dissolved in

surrounding water
oxygen
-
.
,

As dissolved in water has low

air
fairly concentration of onygen
and
-

, ,

have
faster rate
of breathing .

First step of breakdown of glucose in of of

occur
cytoplasm cells

organism .

-
This
procedure capitulates a three carbon molecule compound known as

pyruvate .

Further breakdown of pyruvate takes in

different in
place ways various
-

organisms :

a) Anaerobic respiration
This dioxide
→

type of respiration in
plants produces carbon and ethanol
as end
products .
b) Aerobic respiration
→ In this
respiration pyruvate breakdown
happens in
presence of oxygen
to give rise three molecules
of carbon dioxide and water .

-
Release of energy Is much more in this compare to anaerobic
respiration .

3) Oxygen Transportation
In human
beings haemoglobin is
present in the blood that takes
up oxygen
-

from air to lungs .

Before releasing it carries the oxygen to deficient tissues

oxygen
-
.

→
Carbon dioxide
Transportation
-
In humans , it is transported from body tissues in dissolved form in our

blood to
plasma lungs ,
as carbon dioxide is more soluble in water .

-
And here it difuses from blood to air in
lungs .

4)The passage of air gets divided into smaller and smaller tubes known , as

bronchi which then form bronchioles .

Then the formed bronchioles terminate in balloon like-

structures ,
known as alveoli .

-
These alevoli present in the
lungs provide maximum surface for gases exchange .

The alveoli contains thin walls and extensive network

of blood vessels to

facilitate exchange of gases .

EXCRETION
→
Excretion is a
biological process by which an
organism gets rid of
the
nitrogenous waste
products from body .

EXCRETION IN PLANTS
* Waste Product of a Plant !

→
Oxygen can be looked upon as a waste product of photosynthesis and
carbon dioxide a waste product of respiration whereas water is a waste

product of both . e :*
