C6H12O6 + 6O2 —->6CO2+6H2O+ATP

Question 4

What is the word equation for Aerobic respiration in humans?

Answer 4

Glucose + Oxygen —>Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

Question 5

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in humans?

Answer 5

Glucose—> Lactic acid + Energy

Question 6

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast?

Answer 6

Glucose –> Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + Energy

Question 7

Why is lactic acid bad?

Answer 7

It causes painful and sore muscles during exercise

Question 8

Why do we need anaerobic respiration?

Answer 8

During intense exercise, the body cannot keep producing oxygen at such a high rate for too long, so it turns to anaerobic respiration.
