Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration Flashcards
What’s glucose stored as and where?
Glycogen stored in the muscles and liver
What’s the equation for aerobic respiration?
glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + Water + ATP (energy)
What is the equation for anaerobic respiration?
Glucose-> energy + lactic acid
what is the waste product of anaerobic respiration?
Lactic acid
What is oxygen debt?
The oxygen needed to break down lactic acid that had been built up in the muscles
What is glucose?
A major source of energy for most cells in the body
What is anaerobic respiration?
The process of releasing energy from glucose using oxygen
What is aerobic exercise?
Working at a moderate intensity allowing the body time to utilise oxygen for energy produce and to work for a continuous period e.g. long-distance events
what is anaerobic respiration?
The process of realising energy from glucose without using oxygen
what is lactic acid?
A colourless acid produced in muscle tissues during strenuous exercise when the body is exercising anaerobically at a high intensity
What is cramp?
A painful, involuntary contraction of a muscle, usually caused by fatigue
