Respiration Flashcards
What type of reaction is aerobic respiration?
Exothermic reaction which takes place inside mitochandria
What are the reactants in aerobic respiration?
Glucose and oxygen
What are the products of aerobic respiration?
Carbon dioxide, water, and energy
What is the respiration equation?
Glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water (+energy)
What is the energy produced in aerobic respiration used for?
Movement, keeping warm, and chemical reactions to build large molecules
What physiological changes occur during exercise?
Heart rate, breathing rate, and breath volume increase
Does anaerobic respiration require oxygen?
No
How does the energy production in anaerobic respiration compare to aerobic respiration?
Produces less energy
What toxic substance is produced during anaerobic respiration?
Lactic acid
What is oxygen debt?
The amount of oxygen needed to break down lactic acid produced in anaerobic respiration
What are the products of anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast cells?
Carbon dioxide and ethanol
What practical applications does anaerobic respiration in yeast have?
Manufacture of bread and alcohol
