8b Respiration Flashcards
Name the molecule that is needed to release energy
Glucose
Aerobic respiration word formula
Oxygen + glucose = carbon dioxide + water
How does the circulatory system carry blood cells
Glucose is absorbed by the small intestine .and oxygen is absorbed by the lungs . Both substances g9 into capillaries where they enter the blood.

What is oxygen carried by
Dried blood cells
What is dissolved glucose carried by
Plasma ( the liquid part of a tissue )
What does plasma form
It leaks out of the capillaries and forms tissue fluid which flows over the cells
How does oxygen leave the red blood cells
Oxygen leaves the red blood cells in the capillaries and dissolves in the issue fluid . The red blood cells stay inside the capillaries
What is an aerobicexercise
Where you can easily get oxygen from the air
What does carbon dioxide do
Stops aerobic respiration as it is poisonous
