B9 Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration Flashcards
fact about aerobic respiration
it takes place all the time in plant and animal cells
what does aerobic respiration react with
glucose reacts with oxygen
-transfers energy that your cells use
whats produced from aerobic respiration
carbon dioxide and water
why is it called aerobic respiration
it uses oxygen from the air
what type of reaction is it and why
an exothermic reaction
-it transfers energy to the environment-more energy transferred when new bonds are formed in products
aerobic respiration equation
glucose + oxygen - carbon dioxide + water
where does aerobic respiration take place
in the mitochondria
what is a cytoplasm
where enzymes are made. location of reactions in anaerobic respiration
what is a nucleus
holds genetic code for enzymes for aerobic respiration
what is mitochondrion
contain the enzymes for aerobic respiration
what is cell membrane
allows gases and water to pass freely into and out of the cell. controls the passage of other molecules
name 4 needs for respiration
-living cells need energy to carry out the basic functions of life
-in animals energy from respiration is transferred to make muscles contract
-mammals and birds maintain a constant internal body temperature
-
What is oxygen debt?
The amount of oxygen needed to break down lactic acid which has built up.
anaerobic respiration takes place
without oxygen
why is anaerobic respiration not as efficent as aerobic respiration
glucose molecules arent borken down completely
-animal cells the end product of anaerobic respirations lactic acid instead of carbon dioxide and wtaer
