B9(Respiration) Flashcards
What kind of reaction is Aerobic respiration
Exothermic reaction
What is the word equation for Aerobic respiration
Glucose + Oxygen ——> carbon dioxide +water + energy transferred to the environment
Where is the site of Aerobic respiration
Mitochondria
What is the Energy transferred during respiration used for
Enables muscles to contract
What are the body responses to exercise
-The breathing rate and breath volume increase during exercise to increase the amount of oxygen absorbed into the bloodstream by diffusion, and the amount of carbon dioxide removed
-The heart rate increases
What is Anaerobic respiration
the incomplete breakdown of glucose without oxygen
When does anaerobic respiration take place
When the muscles don’t get enough oxygen
What is the word equation for Anaerobic respiration in animal cells
Glucose + Lactic acid + energy transferred to the environment
What is Oxygen debt
What is the word equation for Anaerobic respiration in plant cells
Glucose ——> ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy transferred to the environment
What is metabolism
The sum of all the reactions in the body
What are the metabolic reactions
