12.1 , 12.2 , 12.3 Flashcards
respiration
- a chemical reaction that breaks down glucose in living cells to release energy
aerobic respiration
- generate energy involving using oxygen
- glucose broken down with oxygen
glucose + oxygen > carbon dioxide + water + energy
C6H12O6 + 602 > 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
anaerobic respiration
- generate energy without using oxygen
- glucose broken down without oxygen
animals/human
- glucose > lactic acid + energy
C6H12O6 > 2C3H6O3 + energy
yeast/plant
- glucose > alcohol + carbon dioxide
C6H12O6 > 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + energy
ciliated cell
found in
- trachea
- nasal
- small intestine
cilia
- traps germs / dust / bacteria
- waft to sweep the dust
goblet cells
- produce mucus - traps dust
lactic acid
- lactic acid is produced in muscle cells during anaerobic respiration, due to short supply of oxygen
- the more u exercise, the higher ur lactic acid concentration
e.g : during exercise > LA build up in muscle, when found in blood and muscle > pH drops (become acidic) > brain send signal to > heart to pump faster or lungs and intercoastal muscle to contract harder
alveolus
- thin wall (one cell thick)
- large surface area
inhalation
internal intercoastal muscles relax - external intercostal muscles contracts
—> pulls ribcage upwards and outwards
—> diaphragm contracts pulling downwards
—-> lung volume increas, air pressure decrease
exhalation
- internal intercoastal muscles contracts - external intercostal muscles relax
—-> pulls ribcage downwards and inwards
—-> diaphragm relaxes moving back upwards
—-> lung volume decrease, air pressure increases
