B9 - Respiration Flashcards
Aerobic Respiration
Breathing in Oxygen, Glucose reacts with Oxygen to transfer energy to the Cells, Exothermic Reaction
Anaerobic Respiration
Increase heart rate and body cant provide with enough Oxygen, releases less energy by using Latic Acid, takes place without Oxygen,
Latic Acid
Built up when body has shortage of Oxygen
Chemical Equation for Anaerobic Respiration
Glucose (C.6 H.12 0.6) –> Latic Acid (2 C.3 H.6 O.3)
Equation for Latic Acid Removal
Lactic Acid + Oxygen –> Water + Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen Debt
- Amount of Oxygen needed to reduce Latic Acid
- Muscle Fatigue occurs during Oxygen Debt
Use of Yeast
Yeast used to puff up bread or make beverage
Muscle Contraction
Happens all the time as your body always moves, requires energy, more energy if they contract faster
Occurrences during Exercise
- Increase heart rate/blood flow
- Increase breathing rate
- Glycogen stored in Muscles convert back to Glucose
Mitochondria
Area of respiration, amount of Mitochondria shows how active the cell is
Respiration on different temperatures
- For some Mammals, energy transferred from respiration keep you warm, on a cold day
- On hot days, you sweat which releases heat from the body
Cellular Respiration
When cells break down food molecules for more energy due to muscle contraction
Unhealthy vs Healthy Body
- Unhealthy have less around of blood pumped out each beat
- Healthy people have more volume in their heart
- Unhealthy have faster pulse rate
Muscle Fatigue
When muscles stop contracting, maybe due to amount of Lactic Acid in the muscle produced by Anaerobic Respiration
Anaerobic Respiration in Plants
Instead of producing Lactic Acid, the produce Ethanol and Carbon Dioxide
Metabolism
Sum of all reaction taken place in the body, some energy transferred to environment
Metabolic Reaction
- Glucose to Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose
- Reactions of Respiration and Photosynthesis
- Lipid Molecules formed Glycerol and Fatty Acids
- Breakdown of Protein in Liver to form Urea to be extracted by Kidneys
Lactic Acid Removal
When Oxygen reacts with Lactic Acid, forms Carbon Dioxide and Water, removed in the Liver
Respiration
Using Glucose in your body to cause chemical reactions
Anaerobic Respiration in Muscles
Produce Lactic Acid, NOT Ethanol
Where does respiration take place
In every living cell
How do reactants of respiration get into animal cells
Diffusion in the capillaries
Chemical Equation for Aerobic Respiration
Glucose (C.6 H.12 O.6) + Oxygen (6O.2) —> Carbon Dioxide (6C O.2) + Water (6H.2 O) + energy
Respiration During Exercise
- Increased Breathing Rate
- Increased Breathing Volume
- Increased Blood flow to muscles
- Increased Heat Rate
Respiration during Vigorous Exercise
- Insufficient Oxygen amount, Oxygen Debt
- Lactic Acid forms
- Sweating and Increase of Body Temperature
