respiration👃 Flashcards
aerobic
food is broken down + the energy in it is released for use
the energy is stored in the cell in the form of a chemical called ATP
equation for aerobic
glucose + oxygen —> carbon dioxide + water + ENERGY
anaerobic
if oxygen is in demand and is short in supply some cells can respire with out oxygen, muscle cells partially breakdown glucose and release some energy from it
equation for anaerobic
glucose —> lactic acid + ENERGY
oxygen dept
during exercise breathing cannot supply all the muscles with the oxygen they need so, they switch to anaerobic
lactic acid builds up
oxygen breaks down lactic acid so when you’ve have stopped exercising your body keeps breathing fast to break it down
you build up an oxygen dept if the oxygen u needed while exceeding that u could not supple to the muscles
