Energy From Respiration Flashcards
Reactions for aerobic respiration take place where?
Mitochondria
Chemical reactions of aerobic respiration are controlled by?
Enzymes
The equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose+oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water + energy
The energy released may be used by the organism to …?
Build larger molecules from smaller ones Enable muscle contraction in animals Maintain constant body temperature Build sugars, other nutrients into amino acids Then Proteins into plants
Where does aerobic respiration take place?
Mitochondria
The quicker the limewater turns cloudy?
The quicker the faster carbon dioxide is being produced
What’s used to detect carbon dioxide?
Limewater
When you exercise why do your muscles need more energy?
So that they can contract
During exercise what needs to be transported into the muscles at a fast rate?
Glucose and oxygen
What does your heart rate do during exercise and the blood vessels?
Rate increases
Blood vessels widen allowing more blood containing oxygen and glucose to reach muscles.
What happens to your breathing rate and depth of each breath during exercise? And why is this good?
Rate and depth increases allowing greater uptake of oxygen and releases of co2 at the lungs.
What do muscles store glucose as?.
Glycogen
Which sugar is needed by the muscles for aerobic respiration?
Glucose
What will happen if you use muscles over a long period of time?
They will get tired and stop contracting efficiently
What happens when your muscles cannot get enough oxygen for aerobic respiration?
They begin to respire anaerobically
