Respiration
Respiration All living organisms require energy to carry out various life processes . The energy that is stored in the body in the form of complex organic compounds means (potential energy) is however not usable by the organisms unless it is converted into usable form . This conversion is achieved through the process of respiration . Respiration It is a bio-chemical process all oxidation off origanic compounds in an orderly Manner for the liberation of chemical energy in the form of ATP . C6 H12 O6 + O2 ➡ 6 CO2 + 6H2O + 38 ATP For this, the process gaseous exchange takes place the organism and the environment . The site of gaseous exchange is called the respiratory surface . Organs of Respiratory Exchange Respirator exchange is a simple physical process . For efficient gaseous exchange , the respiratory surface should have the following features :- a. It should have a large...
