Respiration Flashcards
uses of energy in living organisms
- muscle contractions
- protein synthesis
- cell division
- active transport
- growth
- passage of nerve impulses
- maintenance of body temp
what is the effect on temperature on respiration in yeast
the higher the temperature, the more CO2 will be released by the yeast, forming s greater amount of bubbles
what is aerobic respiration
the chemical reactions in cells that use oxygen to break down nutrients
molecules to release energy
aerobic respiration word equation
glucose + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water + energy
aerobic respiration chemical equation
C6 + H12 + O6 –> 6CO2 + 6H20 + 36ATP
what is anaerobic respiration
the chemical reaction in cells that break down nutrient molecules to release energy without using oxygen
anaerobic respiration releases
much less energy per glucose molecule than aerobic respiration (aerobic respiration releases 18x more than ana)
for every 1 glucose molecule, anaerobic respiration releases
2 ATP’s
for every 1 glucose molecule, aerobic respiration releases
36 ATP’s
word equation for anaerobic respiration in muscles during vigorous exercise
glucose –> lactic acid + energy
chemical equation for anaerobic respiration
C6 + H12 + O6 –> C3 + H6 + O3 + 2ATP
what causes an oxygen debt
when lactic acid builds up in blood during vigorous exercise, it causes an oxygen debt
why is the oxygen debt removed after exercise
- because your heart continues to beat faster, to transport the lactic acid in the blood to the liver
- because you continue to breathe faster and deeper, to supply oxygen for aerobic respiration
- because of aerobic respiration in the liver
