Gas Exchange System

Question 1

Aerobic Respiration Equation (Chem + Word)

Answer 1

Glucose + Oxygen –> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy

C6H12O6 + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Question 2

Aerobic Respiration (where?)

Answer 2

Mitochondria

Question 3

Anaerobic Respiration

Answer 3

Glucose –> Lactic Acid

C6H12O6 –> 2C3H6O3

Question 4

Anaerobic Respiration (where?)

Answer 4

Cell Cytoplasm

Question 5

Breathing

Answer 5

the act of respiring; inhalation and exhalation of air

Question 6

Gas Exchange (what?)

Answer 6

Gas exchange is the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream, and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the bloodstream to the lungs.

Question 7

Gas Exchange (where?)

Answer 7

It occurs in the lungs between the alveoli and a network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which are located in the walls of the alveoli.

Question 8

Gas Exchange (adaptation of organs involved?)

Answer 8

• Folded providing greater surface area
• Walls only one cell thick
• Surrounded by blood capillaries

Question 9

Respiration

Answer 9

The sum total of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which oxygen is conveyed to tissues and cells, and the oxidation products, carbon dioxide and water, are given off.

Question 10

Problems with Breathing System (Hereditary + Environmental)

Answer 10

Drugs, Alcohol, Smoking, Obesity, Altitude, Air Quality. Cystic Fibrosis.
