Chapter 9 - Respiration Flashcards
Why is glucose needed in respiration
to provide energy
where does aerobic respiration occur
mitochondria
why is aerobic respiration an exothermic reaction
because heat is made
what are the reactants of aerobic respiration
glucose and oxygen
what are the products of aerobic respiration
water and carbon dioxide
why would anaerobic respiration be used in the body
if the body needs oxygen
what activities would need anaerobic respiration after in the body
exercise, running
why does anaerobic respiration provide less energy than aerobic respiration
because glucose is fully oxidised
where does anaerobic respiration occur
cytoplasm
when is lactic acid produced
in anaerobic respiration
what does a build up in lactic acid cause
tiredness
where is lactic acid taken too
liver
why is lactic acid taken to the liver
it can be oxidised back to glucose
what is oxygen debt
The amount of extra oxygen required by the body for recovery after vigorous exercise.
what is fermentation
anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast cells
