B9 Flashcards
What happens in aerobic respiration
Glucose reacts with oxygen to create energy for cells
What are the wast products of aerobic respiration
Carbon dioxide and water
What kind of reaction is aerobic respiration
Exothermic
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose+Oxygen—->carbon dioxide +water
What is the symbol equation for aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2+6H20
Where does the chemicals reaction for aerobic respiration take place
The mitochondria
What are the needs for respiration
- Energy is needed for basic function of life
- movement of muscles
- maintaining internal body temperature
- in plants for moving materials
What is bodies response to execise
- heart rise
- increased breathing rate
- glycogen stored in muscle cells converted back into glucose
Anerobic respiration is what compared to aerobic
Not efficent
What are the products of anaerobic respiration
Lactic acid
Why does anaerobic respiration produce lactic acid
As the break down of glucose is incomplete
What is muscle fatigue
Muscle fatigue happens when the body develops a buildup of lactic acid.
What is oxygen debt
Is the oxygen needed to breaks down the lactic acid in the muscles
what is fermentation
Fermentation is anaerobic respiration which happens in yeast
What are the product of fermentation
Ethanol and carbon dioxide
