Anerobic And Aerobic Flashcards
Equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose+Oxygen->Carbon dioxide+Water
Symbol equation for aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H20
When does aerobic respiration occur?
When oxygen is present, At low intensity for long duration
What is anaerobic exercise?
Where the energy needed for the exercise is provided in the absence of oxygen
Equation of anaerobic respiration
Glucose —-> lactic acid (+energy)
When does anaerobic respiration occur?
Short duration of exercise for high intensity
What does the build up of lactic acid cause?
Fatigue
Why does anaerobic exercise have to stop?
The build up of lactic acid causes fatigue and cramps so the exercise has to slow down
What is oxygen debt or EPOC mean?
During the recovery after anaerobic respiration the body needs oxygen to remove the lactic acid produced
