Part 2 Performing Modified CPR on Infants Under 12 Months Old. Give chest compressions. If the baby still isn't breathing after giving rescue breaths, open or remove the baby's shirt and place her on a firm surface. Place two or three fingers near the middle of the chest below the nipple line. Press straight down about 1 1/2 inches.
Respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular activity. Cellular respiration is considered an exothermic redox reaction which releases heat. The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, most of which are redox reactions themselves.
It does this by making a bond between ADP and the phosphate. Energy is required to make bonds, and it is released when the bond is broken. Respiration uses the glucose to provide the energy to make this bond, producing ATP. This ATP is then broken down to provide energy to do work, like contraction of muscles. I know this doesn't seem instant, but it does happen pretty quickly. 5 people found this useful.
