Respiration Flashcards
Aerobic Respiration
Chemical reaction that uses oxygen to break down nutrients molecules to release energy
Anaerobic Respiration
Chemical reaction in cells that break down nutrient molecules to release energy without using oxygen
Respiration
Complex series of reactions, taking place in all living cells that release energy from glucose
Mitochondria
Site of Aerobic respiration
Cytoplasm
Site of Anaerobic reaction
Liver
The organ where lactic acid is aerobically respired
How the lactic acid reaches the liver from the muscles
It is dissolved in plasma
The compound in muscles when glucose is respired anaerobically
Lactic Acid
Oxegen debt
The extra oxygen needed by the body to respire lactic acid produced during anaerobic reaction
Carbohydrates and fats
The nutrient molecules used in respiration
Processes that are dependent on the energy released from glucose during respiration
- Muscle Contraction
- Cell division
- Sending impulses along nerves
- Making new cell membrane
Examples of intense exercise
Sprinting
Swimming wuickly
HIT
What can respiration be used for
Muscle contraction
Cell division
Active transport
Growth
Equation for aerobic reaction
glucose + oxegen-carbon dioxide + water
Equatiomn for anarobic reaction
glucose-lactic acid
