respiration 🌸 Flashcards
what is aerobic respiration?
breaking down glucose with O2
where does aerobic respiration happen?
in mitochondria
what is hydrogen carbonate indicator measured for?
carbon dioxide concentration from aerobic respiration
what colour does hydrogen carbonate indicator change for:
- low CO2 concentration
- medium CO2 concentration
- high CO2 concentration
- low = purple
- medium = red
- high = yellow
what is anaerobic respiration?
breaking down glucose in the absence of O2
what can ATP energy be used for? (3 things)
muscle contractions, active transport, making proteins
word equation for aerobic respiration
glucose + oxygen - carbon dioxide + water + ATP (energy)
what is the balanced chemical equation for aerobic respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 - 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP (energy)
word equation for anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast
glucose - ethanol + carbon dioxide + ATP (energy)
word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals
glucose - lactic acid + ATP (energy)
what is oxygen debt?
the volume of O2 needed to break down the lactic acid produced by anaerobic respiration.
