Anerobic And Areobic Respiration Flashcards
Where is glucose stored
In the liver and muscles as glycogen
What is the equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose+oxygen—-> carbon dioxide+water+ATP
What are the waste products of aerobic respiration
Carbon dioxide and water
What two products are brought to the muscles for respiration to take place
Glucose and oxygen
What is the equation for anaerobic respiration
Glucose-energy+lactic acid
This process creates oxygen debt
What sports use aerobic respiration
Long distance running
Football
What sports use anaerobic respiration
Sprinting and weightlifting
What is the product of anaerobic respiration
Lactic acid, which is toxic, it makes your muscles ache
Eventually it causes cramp and you have to rest
What is Glucose
A major source of energy for most cells in the body
What is Aerobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose using oxygen
What is Anaerobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose without using oxygen
What is lactic acid
A colourless acid produced in muscle tissues during strenuous exercise when the body is exercising anaerobically at high intensity
What is cramp
Painful, involuntary contraction of a muscle usually caused by fatigue.
What percentage of your daily intake should be fats
No more than 30%
What are complex carbohydrates
E.g starch which is found in natural foods such as whole meal bread and rice. This type of food will provide long lasting energy
