Sometimes animals and plants cannot get enough oxygen to respire aerobically, such as during intense exercise, but they still need to respire to survive. After all, everything relies on respiration for energy. Luckily there is a back-up plan; anaerobic respiration. The generalised equation for a
How do face masks and respirators prevent you from breathing in harmful particles? As respiratory protection against coronavirus becomes increasingly important, Risk Bites dives into the science of face masks and respirators, and explores what makes for good protection, whether it’s a professional
Respiration is the chemical process that supplies the body with energy for all other life processes: growth and repair of cells, muscle contraction, protein synthesis, sending nerve impulses, absorbing molecules in active transport to name just a few. It happens in ALL living cells, not just anima
Every human being breathes in and out continuously. We suck air through the trachea into the lungs via the nose or mouth. Through vascular walls, oxygen can be absorbed into the blood and flows into the circulation with every heartbeat. Author: ZDF/scobel/xkopp/Daniel Sich/Maximilian Mohr Translat
Respiration is carried out by all living things. Animals need oxygen to carry out aerobic respiration and they need to get rid of the waste product called carbon dioxide. This is called gas exchange. Swapping one gas for another. JOIN our platform at www.fuseschool.org This video is part of 'Ch
Watch the first part of our Carbon Cycle videos, as part of environmental chemistry. Photosynthesis and respiration help carbon to be cycled in nature by using energy from the sun. As living things grow, they have to build up large polymer molecules from small molecules. Protein comes from joinin
Watch part 2 of the videos on the Carbon Cycle, as a part of environmental chemistry. Mankind has had an influence on the carbon cycle. The carbon dioxide released during respiration is cycled naturally. Same is the case if we burn wood and agricultural waste – even biogas given off from food we t

All living organisms are made up of cells - they are the basic building blocks of life. There are two important categories of cells: plant cells and animal cells. In this video we look at animal cells in more detail. Animal cells are the type of cell that make up our bodies... and the bodies of al
Could alien blood be toxic to us? It may seem like a funny question, but it leads to some interesting scientific places! Not surprisingly, the chances that exo-toxicology (the toxicology of extraterrestrial life forms) becomes a critical issue in our lifetimes is small. But with rapid developments

Deep breathing has a positive influence on our health: because every breath gives us new energy. Deep breathing in the chest, flanks and abdomen has a higher oxygen uptake than shallow chest breathing. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Sabine Müller/Malte Roethig/Maximilian Mohr Translation and dubbing: alugha
