Energy From Respiration Flashcards
What can the energy released from aerobic respiration be used for
Build larger molecules from smaller ones, enable muscle contraction in animals, maintain a constant body temp in colder surroundings in mammals and birds, build sugars, nitrates and nutrients into amino acids and proteins in plants
Word equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose + oxygen —-> carbon dioxide + water + ENERGY
Where does aerobic respiration take place
Plants and animals
Whats an investigation you can use for carbon dioxide
Limewater turning cloudy to test for carbon dioxide
Where do most reactions for aerobic respiration take place
Mitochondria
During exercise what do muscles need more of
Energy, more glucose an oxygen transported to muscles
What do you need to remove during exercise
Extra waste carbon dioxide
Which sugar is needed by the muscles for aerobic respiration
Glucose
When do muscles use anaerobic respiration
If they are short of oxygen
Why is there lactic acid produced in anaerobic respiration?
Because glucose is my fully broken down
In anaerobic respiration what is released less?
Energy from glucose
What removes lactic acid
Blood flowing through the muscles
What does aerobic respiration mean
The release of energy from food when oxygen is available
Anaerobic respiration
A type of respiration that does not use oxygen and produces lactic acid
Two waste products of aerobic respiration
Carbon dioxide and water
