1
Q
What is Aerobic Respiration?
A
Aerobic respiration is where glucose reacts with oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water
2
Q
Aerobic Respiration equations
A
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O
3
Q
Aerobic vs Anaerobic Respiration
A
Anaerobic respiration isn’t as efficient as aerobic respiration because the glucose molecules aren’t broken down completely.
4
Q
Cause of muscle fatigue
A
The cause of muscle fatigue is the build up of lactic acid produced by anaerobic respiration in the muscle cells
5
Q
Oxygen debut
A
Lactic acid + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water
6
Q
Anaerobic respiration in plants
A
Glucose = ethanol + carbon dioxide
