Question 1

What is gluclose?

Answer 1

Major source of energy for most cells im the body

Question 2

What is aerobic respirtation?

Answer 2

Process of releasing energy from gluclose, using oxygen

Question 3

What is anaerobic respiration?

Answer 3

Process of releasing energy from gluclose without oxygen

Question 4

What is Aerobic exercise?

Answer 4

Working at moderate intensity allowing the body time to utilise oxygen for energt production and to work for a continuous period e.g long-distance events

Question 5

What is lactic acid?

Painful, involuntary contraction of a muscle usually caused by fatigue

Question 7

What is anaerobic exercise?

Answer 7

Anaerobic activities are usually short but intense e.g sprinting, lifting weights and jumping

Question 8

What is the equation for aerobic respiration?

Answer 8

Gluclose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy

Question 9

What is the equation for anaerobic repiration equation?

Answer 9

Gluclose -> energy + lactic acid
