Misconceptions relating to Respiration •• Respiration is synonymous with breathing •• Energy is not conserved but is consumed in respiration and thus depleted when utilised • During respiration oxygen is converted into another form of gas, carbon dioxide • Plants respiration is an inverse gaseous exchange compared with that of animals • Respiration uses oxygen and makes carbon dioxide • Respiration in plants is the taking in of carbon dioxide and giving off of oxygen at night • Plants respire during the night only • Plants don’t respire • Respiration takes place where there is no photosynthesis • Respiration in green plants takes place only during the day • Plants use carbon dioxide to carry out respiration and to produce oxygen • Plants photosynthesise and animals respire • Respiration occurs in no plant cells • Respiration in plants occurs only in their store roots • Humans are giving off carbon dioxide in respiration and plants are giving off oxygen in respiration • Respiration in plants takes place solely in the leaves • Oxygen is used directly during glucose reduction • All living things use oxygen during respiration reactions • During anaerobic respiration reactions carbon dioxide is used instead of oxygen • Carbon dioxide is released during aerobic and anaerobic respiration reactions as an end product • Carbon dioxide is released during both lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation reactions as an end product • Water is produced as a result of fermentation reaction • Carbon dioxide is used during glycolysis to form ATP • Only animals can carry out glycolysis • Glucose is produced as a result of respiration reaction • Only aerobic respiration occurs in muscle cells • All of the energy produced during respiration is stored
