Respiration Flashcards
What is resparation?
Process of producing evergy
What is anaerobic resparation?
Type of resparation that does not use oxygen.
Equasion cot anaerobvic resparation?
Glucose - lactic acid (+ energy)
When do we use anaerobic respiration?
Use to transfer energy from glucose when there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration.
Happens during excersize e.g sprinting
Why do we usually use aerobic respiration?
Usually becusee it transfers.mor eenergy per glucose molecule and the lactic acid from anaerobic respiration can cauee painful cramps
What is aerobic respirstion?
Chemical process of oxygen making energy from carbohydrates to produce energy
Teo types of resparation?
Aerobic
Anaerobic
Equasion for aerobic respararion?
Glucose + oxygen - carbon dioxide + water
Where does respartion happen?
Mitochondria
What is fermentation?
When anaerobic resparation in plants and micro organisms produces ethanol and carbon dioxide instead of lactic acid.
