1
Q
What is aerobic respiration?
A
Respiration that takes place with the presence of oxygen
The oxygen combines with glucose in the bodies cells to form energy
Usually elements of prolonged activity
2
Q
What is anaerobic respiration?
A
Respiration that takes place without the presence of oxygen
Glucose is converted into energy with the waste product of lactic acid
Usually elements of high intensity or maximal activity
3
Q
What is the equation for aerobic respiration?
A
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
4
Q
What is the equation for anaerobic respiration?
