Respiration and respiratory

system.

By Lewis and Jordan

Equation for Respiration• The equation for respiration is, Glucose +

oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP which stands for adedenisine triphosphate)C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP)

Equation for photosynthesis

• The equation for photosynthesis is, Listing all reactants and products, photosynthesis can be described as: 6 CO2 + 12 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O

But because water is both a reactant and a product, the equation can be simplified accounting for net water consumption, which is: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 Carbon dioxide + Water + Light energy → Glucose + Oxygen.

How Does The Respiratory system work?

The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood.

Here are some of Jordans Fave Facts!

• The average person takes in 21,600 breaths per day!

• The body requires 88 pounds of oxygen per day.

Sighing or yawning is a sign that you are not getting enough oxygen.
