Q

aerobic respiration

A
  • generate energy involving using oxygen
  • glucose broken down with oxygen

glucose + oxygen > carbon dioxide + water + energy
C6H12O6 + 602 > 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Q

anaerobic respiration

A
  • 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

Q

lactic acid

A
  • 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

Q

inhalation

A

internal intercoastal muscles relax - external intercostal muscles contracts
—> pulls ribcage upwards and outwards
—> diaphragm contracts pulling downwards
—-> lung volume increas, air pressure decrease

Q

exhalation

A
  • internal intercoastal muscles contracts - external intercostal muscles relax
    —-> pulls ribcage downwards and inwards
    —-> diaphragm relaxes moving back upwards
    —-> lung volume decrease, air pressure increases
