Aerobic And Anaerobic Respiration Flashcards
Is respiration endothermic or exothermic
It is exothermic
Why is respiration an exothermic reaction
Because it releases energy from glucose molecules for use by the body
Why do organisms need glucose molecules for energy
For chemical reactions to build larger molecules
For movement
To keep warm
What is the aerobic respiration formula
Carbon dioxide and water = Glucose + oxygen
What is the chemical name for glucose
C6 h12 o6
In anaerobic respiration what is not completely broken down
The glucose molecules
What does it mean if the group called molecules are not completely broken down and anaerobic respiration
This means that it transfers much less energy than aerobic respiration
What is difference in anaerobic respiration between a plants and animals
While animals produce lactic acid plants and yeast produce ethanol and carbon dioxide
What is another name for anaerobic respiration in yeast cells
Fermentation and can be used to produce bread and alcohol
Why does the rate of respiration need to increase during exercise
The body demands more energy
Why would anaerobic respiration take place
Because the muscles aren’t getting enough oxygen
What does anaerobic respiration cause a build up of and what does it create
Anaerobic respiration causes a buildup of lactic acid and creates an oxygen debt
How is oxygen debt paid?
your heart still beats very quickly after exercise for some time as the blood must be pumped on the body delivering oxygen to the muscles
What is metabolism
Metabolism is the sum of all the chemical reactions in a cell or in the body
What is the metabolism controlled by
The metabolism is controlled by enzymes and many need a transfer of energy
