Question

Name four uses of energy produced by respiration.

Answer 1

1.produces energy for maintenance and repair of cells and tissues;

2.produces energy for muscular activities and movement;

3.prodices energy for nerve impulse conduction in animals and people;

4.produces energy for light bioluminescent organisms.

Answer 2

During the process of cellular respiration in living organisms, the molecules of glucose are broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. The energy produced and stored in the form of chemical molecules called as ATP (adenosine triphosphates).

1. The energy produced in the form of ATP is used in the cellular metabolism.

2. The energy produced is used for the contraction of the muscles and movement.

3. The energy produced is used to generate nerve impulse and helps in the transmission of information in the nervous system.

4. In animals the energy produced is used to generate bioluminescent responses.
