Anaerobic Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
define anaerobic respiration
A
exercising without oxygen
2
Q
what is the anaerobic respiration equation?
A
glucose → lactic acid + energy released
C6H12O6 -> 2C3H6O3 + 2ATP
3
Q
what is the equation for lactic acid being broken down?
A
lactic acid + oxygen –> carbon dioxide
4
Q
what is oxygen debt?
A
the amt of extra O2 required by the body for recovery after vigorous exercise
5
Q
what is the oxygen debt repayment equation
A
lactic acid + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water
6
Q
where does anaerobic respiration occur?
A
in the cytoplasm of cells
7
Q
what other organisms respire anaerobically?
A
fungi and yeast
8
Q
what is the equation for yeast respiring anaerobically?
A
glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy released
9
Q
what is yeast used to make?
