19
Q

At rest the oxygen level in the blood is _________, during exercise it is low.

20
Q

When do your muscles start to fatigue?

A

When not enough oxygen can be supplied to them

21
Q

Describe the effect of muscle fatigue.

A

Muscles do not contract as strongly

22
Q

Muscles usually get all of their energy via…

A

Aerobic Respiration

23
Q

If you are unable to supply enough oxygen to your muscles then they will get the rest of their energy from…

A

Anaerobic Respiration

24
Q

What is the equation for aerobic respiration?

A

Glucose + Oxygen –> Carbon Dioxide + Water (+Energy)

25
What is the equation for anaerobic respiration?
Glucose --> Lactic Acid + Energy
26
What are the waste products of anaerobic respiration?
Lactic Acid
27
Compare the amount of energy released in aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Aerobic Respiration releases more energy than Anaerobic Respiration
28
Describe breathing rate at rest
Breathing at rest happens at a normal rate
29
Describe breathing rate during the first 5 minutes of exercise
Breathing increases to a maximum level
30
Describe breathing rate immediately after exercise.
Breathing slowly decreases until the oxygen debt is paid
31
What is oxygen debt?
The extra oxygen our body needs after intense exercise/anaerobic respiration
