Respiration - The Energy Producing System

This topic introduces the concept of respiration in plants and animals. We will study the types of respiration based on the involvement of oxygen. It also illustrates all the cycles in detail for a better understanding.

The topic talks about the respiratory organs in humans and its functions. We will learn about the steps involved in respiration. With the aid of a diagram, we will understand the process of breathing in human beings.

The topic introduces us to the mechanism of breathing in human beings. It describes the inflow and outflow of air between the atmosphere and alveoli of the lungs along with various parts involved in the process.

This topic explains the mechanism of the exchange of gases. It describes the exchange of gases between alveoli and blood and vice versa. It discusses the transport of oxygen in the blood and the transport of carbon dioxide.

In this topic, we will learn about aerobic respiration. It mentions three steps of the common pathway of aerobic respiration including glycolysis, Krebs cycle and terminal oxidation. It also gives a detailed explanation of cellular respiration.

This topic explains the process of anaerobic respiration in detail with the help of a diagram. It highlights different types of fermentation including alcoholic and lactic acid with a cyclic representation.

In this topic, we will have a detailed study on the comparison of respiration with photosynthesis. It discusses both the processes. It also mentions the similarities and dissimilarities between them.

The topic involves the evolution of the human respiratory system with the aid of pictures. It includes the changes occurring in the respiratory system as compared with our ancestors. It also illustrates the working of the respiratory organs.

This topic highlights the process of respiration in plants. We will also learn the process of how the roots absorb air from the soil.
