4 Anaerobic Respiration Flashcards
When do muscles start to respire anaerobically
If they can’t get enough oxygen to aspire
What does anaerobic restoration in muscles produce
Lactic acid
What’s the equation for anaerobic restoration
Glucose=lactic acid
Does anaerobic respiration or aerobic respiration transfer more energy and why
Aerobic as it involves the incomplete oxidation of glucose
What occurs after anaerobic respiration in muscle cells
And oxygen debt where you have to repay the oxygen you didn’t manage to get to your muscles in time
What is an oxygen debt
The amount of extra oxygen needed to react with and remove lactic acid from muscle cells of the exercise. Lactic acid is removed from the body by being carried by the blood to the liver and converted to glucose or by reacting with oxygen
What’s the word equation for anaerobic respiration in plant and yeast cells
Glucose= Ethanol+ carbon dioxide
What is anaerobic respiration in yeast cells called
Fermentation-it has a economic importance in bread and alcoholic drink industries
What’s the difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration
- Anaerobic doesn’t need oxygen where as aerobic does
- Aerobic produces lactic acid in the muscles and CO2/Ethanol in plants and use where as aerobic produces Co2 and water
- A large amount of energy is transferred in aerobic where the small amount is transferred in anaerobic
