The human body gets energy through a process called aerobic respiration. During aerobic respiration, glucose and oxygen are broken down to release the energy our bodies need. The respiration equation shows that glucose and oxygen molecules are rearranged through cellular respiration to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The atoms from the glucose molecule are rearranged after respiration to form carbon dioxide and water molecules, releasing the energy stored in glucose.

Rearrange the words and symbols on the cards on page 2 of this worksheet to make the respiration equation.
2 Why do we need respiration? >>
Write a definition for each of these words (use a dictionary or the glossary in your Student Book): a) respiration ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… b) energy ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… c) aerobic. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Now write out the respiration equation and explain, in words, what it shows. Use all the words you have defined. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
3 Rearranging molecules >>>
We use symbols to represent atoms and molecules. For example, the symbol formula for the oxygen molecule is O2. a) Find the symbol formula for each of these molecules and explain what this tells us about what each molecule contains: i) glucose ……………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ii) carbon dioxide ……………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… iii) water. ……………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
