Q

Why does breathing and heart rate increase when you exercise?

A

Increase the amount of oxygen (and glucose) delivered to the muscles for aerobic respiration.
Allows a greater rate of respiration
Increases the amount of energy available for muscle contraction

16
Q

What is an oxygen debt?

A

The oxygen needed to react with the lactic acid ad remove it from cells.

Breathing rate remain high after exercsie to provide this oxygen

17
Q

What happens to muscles if there is a build up of lactic acid?

A

Muscles become fatigued.

Muscles stop contracting efficiently.

18
Q

Name the two types of respiration.

A

Aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

19
Q

Give two differences between anaerobic and aerobic respiration.

A

Anaerobic respiration releases LESS energy than aerobic respiration.

Anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen whereas aerobic respiration uses oxygen

Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid whereas aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide and water.

20
Q

Name the chemical with the following formula
C6 H12 O6

A

Glucose

21
Q

Name the chemicals with the following formulae
H2O
CO2
O2

A

H2O Water
CO2 Carbon dioxide
O2 Oxygen

22
Q

Give the equation of anaerobic respiration in humans

A

Glucose –> lactic acid

23
Q

Give the equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast and plant cells

A

Glucose –> ethanol + carbon dioxide

24
Q

Give another term used for anaerobic respiration in yeast cells

A

Fermentation

25
Q

Why is fermentation important?

A

Used in the manufacture of
Bread
Alcoholic drinks

26
Q

What happens to the lactic acid made in

anaerobic respiration in humans (Higher)

A

Transported to the liver
In the blood
Lactic acid converted back to glucose.

27
Q

What does the term metabolism mean?

A

All the reactions in a cell or in the body

28
Q

Name three chemicals made from glucose during metabolism

A

Glycogen
Starch
Cellulose

29
Q

In metabolism lipids can be made.

Name the two chemicals needed to make a lipid.

A

Glycerol
3 fatty acids

30
Q

What happens to excess amino acids in an animal?

A

Broken down to for urea
Urea is excreted in urine

31
Q

In metabolism amino acids can be made.

Name the two chemicals needed to make an amino acid

A

Nitrate ions
Glucose

32
Q

Name the building block of prtiens

A

Amino acids

33
Q

What is trhe energy released during respriation used for?

A

Syntheis of new molecules in metabolis,
