6
Q
Differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
A
Aerobic respiration: Anaerobic respiration:
- uses oxygen - doesn’t use oxygen
- uses water - doesn’t use water
- doesn’t have lactic acid or ethanol - has lactid acid/ethanol

Q
How do you measure the rate of respiration?
A
Measure the number of breaths a person takes per minute
8
Q
Factors that affect the rate of respiration
A
- how much oxygen is in the atmosphere (volume of O2)
- how much carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere (volume of CO2)
- temperature
- amount of light
