respiration

Question 1

define respiration

Answer 1

the process of transferring energy from glucose, which happens constantly in every living cell

Question 2

chemical equation of aerobic respiration

Answer 2

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O +energy

Question 3

what is the difference between aerobic and anaeroebic respiration

Answer 3

-aerobic respiration occurs when there is plenty of oxygen available
-anaerobic respiration occurs when there is no oxygen

Question 4

where does aerobic respiration take place

Answer 4

mitochondria and cytoplasm

Question 5

where does anaerobic respiration take place

Answer 5

cytoplasm

Question 6

word equation of anaerobic respiration

Answer 6

glucose -> lactic acid +energy

Question 7

word equation of anaerobic respiration in plants/yeast

Answer 7

glucose -> ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy

Question 8

difference in the amount of energy released in aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Answer 8

-aerobic releases large amount of energy
-anaerobic respiration releases small amount of glucose

Question 9

how is the glucose broken down in anaerobic respiration

Answer 9

partially broken down

Question 10

what does lactic acid build up lead to

Answer 10

-painful and leads to cramps

Question 11

what happens when you exercise(anaerobic)

Answer 11

-body can’t supply enough oxygen to your muscles for aerobic respiration
-heart rate and breathing rate increases as much as they can
-muscles start respirating anaerobically as well

Question 12

why is breathing rate higher when exercising

Answer 12

-greater demand for oxygen, increased breathing rate allows for more oxygen to be absorbed into the blood
-aerobic respiration, muscles require energy to contract
-CO2 needs to e removed
-lactic acid needs to be oxidised and removed

Question 13

Why does anaerobic respiration lead to less energy

Answer 13

Lactic acid is produced, which has a low pH, affecting the enzymes in cells, so less energy is produced
