Respiration Flashcards
Describe aerobic respiration
The most effective way
Occurs continuously
Occurs in the mitochondria
Involves oxygen
What is the equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose+oxygen–>Carbon dioxide +water+energy
Five some uses of energy
Build larger molecules
Allows muscle to contract
Keep the body temperature
To form other nutrients (plants)
Why does excersise increase the heart rate
More muscle activity requires more energy so more glucose and oxygen is required
What is glucose stored as
Glycogen
In excess excersise what is created
Glucagon to convert the glycogen back to glucose
What is anerobic respiration
No oxygen meaning the incomplete break down of glucose and lactic acid is produced
What is the equation for anerobic respiration
Glucose–>energy+lactic acid
What does lactic acid cause
Muscle fatigue
Does anerobic respiration produce more or less energy
Less energy
What it the term for the “repaying” of oxygen by oxidising the lactic acid
Oxygen debt
what are biological detergents good for
Biological stains
What are the positives for biological detergents
More effective at lower temperatures
What enzyme turns starch syrup into sugar syrup
Carbohydrase
Glucose is converted to fructose through what enzyme
Isomerase
