respiration bio test Flashcards
word equation for aerobic respiration
glucose + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water
symbol equation for aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
equation for anaerobic respiration in animals
glucose –> lactic acid (+ energy released)
equation for anaerobic respiration in organisms such as yeast
glucose –> ethanol + carbon dioxide (+energy released)
when would an athlete have to respire anaerobically
when they were doing high intensity exercise, eg: sprinting
What is the downside of sprinting?
due to anaerobic respiration there is a build of lactic acid in the muscles , which lead to muscle fatigue and muscle aching
where does anaerobic respiration occur?
in the cytoplasm of cells
where does aerobic respiration occur?
in the mitochondria
what do we use the products of anaerobic respiration in yeast for?
ethanol is used to make alcoholic drinks and the carbon dioxide is used to make bread rise
other food products that use of anaerobic respiration other than yeast
yoghurt, vinegar, cheese
what two main organelles are in plant cells but not in animal cells?
chloroplasts - (for photosynthesis) and cell wall which holds the cell in place and keeps its shape
how to tell if you are breathing aerobically (C02)
breathe into limewater and if it turns cloudy you are respiring aerobically
how to test you are breathing aerobically (water)
check for condension, breathe against a cold surface such as a mirror
what happens if the alcohol level rises too high in anaerobic respiration with yeast?
it becomes too toxic and kills the yeast
anaerobic respiration in plants equation:
glucose –> ethanol + carbon dioxide (+energy)
where does anaerobic respiration in plants occur??
in the roots (in the waterlogged soil)
liquid paraffin, yeast cell experiment, what is the indicator solution in tube b?
limewater ( since it tests for carbon dioxide being present)
liquid paraffin, yeast cell experiment, what colour would the limewater be before and after the gas is bubbled through it?
colourless and then changes to cloudy in the presence of C02
liquid paraffin, yeast cell experiment, what is the purpose of the liquid paraffin in tube A
it prevents 02 from reaching the yeast - creating an anaerobic condition
after vigorous exercise lactic acid is transported to the ? from the ?
liver, muscles
