respiration Flashcards
what is respiration?
respiration releases energy for cells from glucose
what are the two types of respiration?
aerobic and anaerobic
what is aerobic respiration?
the form of respiration that uses oxygen
what is the equation for aerobic respiration?
glucose+oxygen>carbon dioxide+water (+energy)
what happens during exercise?
oxygen and glucose must be delivered to muscles more quickly & waste carbon dioxide must be removed more quickly
what is anaerobic respiration ?
anaerobic respiration involves the incomplete breakdown of glucose.
anaerobic respiration releases about ? percent of the energy released by aerobic respiration?
5%
whats the waste product of anaerobic respiration?
lactic acid
whats the waste product of aerobic respiration?
carbon dioxide and water
whats the equation for anaerobic respiration?
glucose>lactic acid (+little energy)
what is oxygen debt?
the amount of oxygen needed to oxidise lactic acid to carbon dioxide and water.
