Anaerobic - Glucose

Question 1

When does the process of ‘Anaerobic Respiration’ happen?

Answer 1

• When we carry out intense oxygen, in which we cannot supply oxygen to our muscles quickly enough.
• When this happens, the process happens to break down glucose and release energy that does not rely o oxygen

Question 2

What is the equation for ‘Anaerobic’ respiration?

Answer 2

• Glucose to latic acid

Question 3

What is the difference in energy released between Anaerobic and Aerobic?

Answer 3

• Anaerobic releases less energy

Question 4

What happens to latic acid?

Answer 4

• It is broken down using oxygen into carbon dioxide + water

Question 5

What is ‘excess post exercise energy consumption’?

Answer 5

• Where after exercise increased oxygen is required to break down latic acid and to release energy for other processes in the cell

Question 6

What is the requirement in EPEC?

Answer 6

• Additional oxygen after exercise

Question 7

Define ‘Recovery Time’

Answer 7

• The time taken for the pulse rate to return to normal or resting rate after exercise
