Outcomes
Respiration releases the energy needed for living processes and is represented by the equation:
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)
Students should know the word equation for respiration.
Students should know that glucose is derived from the diet and that carbon dioxide and oxygen gases are exchanged through the lungs.
Lifestyle can have an effect on people’s health eg diet and exercise are linked to obesity; smoking to cancer; alcohol to liver and brain function.
A healthy diet contains the right balance of the different food groups you need and the right amount of energy.
People who exercise regularly are usually fitter than people who take little exercise.
