respiration and ventilation Flashcards
how is atp formed
atp is formed in the mitochondria during respiration by breaking down glucose
how is atp used
atp is carried to areas in cells where a phosphate group can be pulled off which releases energy to fuel cellular processes
aerobic respiration word equation
glucose + oxygen —–> carbon dioxide + water + energy
aerobic respiration chemical equation
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 —–> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
What is anareobic respiration
respiration without oxygen
yeast word equation anareobic
glucose —–> ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy
animal/human anareobic respiration word equation
glucose —–> lactic acid + (little) energy
what happens during intense exercise
during intense exercise the muscle cell may be short of oxygen
the lactic acid produced causes pain in muscles
there is an oxygen debt, more oxygen needed to break down acid
what is respiration
its the process that the body uses to release energy from digested food (glucose or fatty acids) to create ATP
breathing in =
1.external intercostal muscles contract moving ribs up and out
- diaphgram contracts moving down
- volume of thorax increases
4.pressure of thorax decreases
5.so air moves into lungs
breathing out=
- intercostal muscles contract pulling ribs down and in
2.diaphgram relaxes moving up
3.volume of thorax decreases
- pressure of thorax increases
- air moves out of lungs
