Cellular respiration of glucose Flashcards
What happens in low to moderate exercise?
Blood flow provides sufficient o2 for cellular requirements
What is the pathway used in low exercise?
glycolysis leading to pyruvic acid formation and anaerobic respiration
What is ATP production in low to moderate exercise
30ATP per glucose
What is the waste produce during low to moderate exercise?
c02 is exhaled
What happens in high intensity exercise
o2 supply is not sufficient for cellular requirements
What is the pathway used in high intensity exercise?
Glycolysis leading to formation of lactic acid
How much ATP is produced in high intensity exercise
2 ATP per glucose
What is the waste product of high intensity exercise
lactic acid accumulates
