Respiration Flashcards
Aerobic respiration equation
Oxygen + glucose —> water + carbon dioxide
Symbol equation for aerobic respiration
O2 + C6H12O6 —> CO2 + H2O
Equation for anaerobic respiration in human and animal muscles
Glucose —> lactic acid
Anaerobic respiration in plant and yeast cells
Glucose —> ethanol + carbon dioxide
How does your body gain more oxygen during exercise
Breathing goes up
Heart rate goes up
Increase breathing capacity
What happens when you can’t get enough oxygen
You’ll enter anaerobic respiration which doesn’t need oxygen
What are the cons of anaerobic respiration
Lactic acidosis builds up and causes pains and stitches
Your oxygen debt goes up making your breathing continue to after the exercise
What is your metabolism
All the chemical reactions taking place in your body added together
