Q

Name three large molecules that are made from smaller ones

A
  • small glucose molecules are joined together to make start
  • lipid molecules are made from one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acids
  • glucose is combined with nitrate ions to make amino acids then proteins

Q

Larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones.

Why is glucose broken down

A

For respiration as respiration transfers energy to power all reactions in the body that makes molecules

Q

Large molecules are broken down into smaller ones

Why is protein broken down

A

It’s broken down to produce urea so it can be excreted

Q

What is produced from respiration in yeast and plant cells

Ethanol and carbon dioxide

17
Q

Fermentation is…

A

Respiration in yeast cells

18
Q

What is the word equation for respiration in yeast and plant cells

A

Glucose➡️ ethanol + carbon dioxide

19
Q

What is respiration in plants and yeast cells used for in the drinks and food industry

A

Ethanol makes alcohol

Carbon dioxide makes bread rise

20
Q

Why do you respire more when you exercise

A
  • muscles need energy to contract
  • they contract more frequently in exercise
  • breathing rate and breath volume increases to get more oxygen in the blood
  • the heart rate increases to get more oxygenated blood around the body
  • this removes carbon dioxide more quickly
21
Q

What is oxygen debt

A
  • when you have to “repay” the oxygen that you didn’t get to your muscles in time
  • this is because the lungs heart and blood could not keep up with the demand earlier
22
Q

Why do you breathe harder in oxygen debt

A

-to get more oxygen into the blood to be transported to the muscle cells

23
Q

What is your pulse and breathing rate like during oxygen debt and why

A

Huh because the high levels of Latic acid and carbon dioxide

24
Q

How does the body cope with high levels of Latic acid

A

Transports it to the liver to get converted back to glucose
