Anaerobic respiration in yeast is used in baking and alcohol production.

Detailed Explanation

Anaerobic respiration in yeast occurs in the absence of oxygen. Yeast cells can break down sugars and convert them into alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide. This process is beneficial in two significant industries: baking and alcohol production. When yeast is added to dough, the carbon dioxide released makes the dough rise, creating a light and airy texture. In alcohol production, yeast converts sugars in fruits or grains into alcohol during fermentation.

Examples & Analogies

Think of baking bread as a magic trick. When you make dough and add yeast, it starts to 'breathe' and release tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide, making the dough puff up like a balloon. Just like how yeast makes bread rise, it also helps us make beer and wine by turning fruits and sugar into tasty drinks!

Energy Released in Plants

The energy released by respiration is used for active transport, cell division, growth, and repair in plants.

Detailed Explanation

Plants need energy for various vital processes. This energy, derived from respiration, is critical for active transport, which moves nutrients like minerals against their concentration gradient within plant cells. Additionally, energy is essential for cell division, allowing plants to grow and develop. Furthermore, when parts of plants are damaged, energy is required for repairing those tissues, ensuring the plant remains healthy.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine a plant as a busy factory. Just like a factory needs energy to power machines, make new products, and fix broken equipment, plants need energy from respiration to transport nutrients, grow bigger, and heal when they get hurt. It's like fueling a car to keep it running smoothly and efficiently!
