Aerobic And Anerobic Respiration Flashcards
What is energy needed for
Protein synthesis
Muscle contraction
Control of body temperature
Equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose+Oxygen (arrow) carbon dioxide+water
How can respiration be measured
Increases oxygen consumption
Increased carbon dioxide production
Word equation for anerobic respiration
Glucose (arrow) lactic acid
What does lactic acid cause
Pain and tiredness
What is ATP
The substance that is used as an energy source in cells
What is the metabolic rate
The metabolic rate is the rate at which energy is used by the body.
Why does hard exercise cause fatigue
Because lactic acid from anerobic respiration has built up in the muscles
Why does it take a while to recovery from hard exercise
Hard exercise causes a lack of oxygen in the cells and it needs to be replaced
Glucose has not been broken down completly due to anerobic respiration
Increased heart rate ensures that the blood carries the lactic acid away to the liver
