ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION Flashcards
What is anaerobic respiration?
It is INCOMPLETE BREAKDOWN of glucose
to release a small amount of energy
tp use in cell processes, it does NOT require oxygen
What is the waste products of anaerobic respiration?
It depends on the type of organism it’s taking place in
Where does anaerobic respiration take place in animals?
In the muscle cells during rigorous exercise
What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals?
Glucose–) lactic acid
Why does anaerobic respiration take place?
Because sometimes🤷♂️ in vigorous exercise🥵
O2 can’t 🙅♂️ be supplied to the muscles
Explain why anaerobic respiration has to take place?
LA builds up in muscle cells 💪🏾
and lowers the PH of the cells 👇🏾
This could DENATURE the ENZYMES in cells 🧪
so it needs to removed 👉🏾🚪
This happens by OXIDISING the LACTIC ACID
(combing it w/ oxygen)
Why do we breath heavier after exercise?
We needs to CONTINUE🔄 getting LARGER AMOUNTS 🔍 of 02 into the BLOOD 🩸
To combine with the LA produced
Why is there less energy released in anaerobic respiration than aerobic respiration?
Glucose is NOT completely broken down,
What other organisms does anaerobic respiration happen in?
Plants and SOME other microbes (yeast)
What is the word equation of anaerobic respiration in yeast?
Glucose–) Ethanol +C02
What can the products of anaerobic respiration in yeast be used for?
Bread making
In bread making how is C02 useful?
It helps dough rise
What is ethanol useful for?
Ethanol produced in fermentation makes beer
What is ethanol used in?
Brewing
What is the products of anaerobic respiration in animals?
Lactic acid
