Aerobic And Anaerobic Exercise 1.4 Flashcards
Aerobic respiration equation
Glucose + oxygen -> energy + carbon dioxide + water
Glucose + oxygen -> energy + carbon dioxide + water
Aerobic respiration equation
Anaerobic respiration equation
Glucose -> lactic acid + energy
Glucose -> lactic acid + energy
Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration definition (3)
- presence of oxygen
- long period of time
- steady
Anaerobic respiration equation (3)
- short period of time
- high intensity
- absence of oxygen
Is aerobic or anaerobic respiration more efficient
Aerobic
Why is aerobic respiration more efficient than anaerobic (2)
- more energy can be produced
- less harmful by-products
Intensity definition
Amount of energy needed to complete activity
Amount of energy needed to complete activity
Intensity
What is lactic acid
Mild poison and waste product of anaerobic respiration
Mild poison and waste product of anaerobic respiration
Lactic acid
What does EPOC stand for
Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption
What is EPOC
The amount of oxygen needed to recover after anaerobic exercise
What does EPOC do
- replenishes body with oxygen
- enables body to convert lactic acid to glucose, carbon dioxide and water
