ESSAY MARKING GUIDE (BIOLOGY II)

1a. Respiration: Respiration is the process by which living things breakdown / oxidise food /
nutrients / Glucose: to release energy / ATP for metabolic activities of the body, with or
without the use of oxygen.
b. Differences between gaseous exchange and aerobic respiration
Gaseous exchange Aerobic respiration
Oxygen simply moves into the organism Oxygen is used to oxidise glucose
and co2 moves out
Process takes place outside the cell Process occurs inside the cells
Physical process Chemical process
No energy is released Energy is released
No enzymes involved Enzymes involved
