Respiration & Life Flashcards
Where does respiration occur?
Occurs inside cells to release the energy from food substances
What controls all reactions?
Enzymes
How can repression rate be found|?
How much Carbon Dioxide is released or how much Oxygen is taken in
When does Anaerobic respiration take place?
In the absence of Oxygen.
Why is Anaerobic Respiration less efficient
Less energy is released per molecule of glucose
Where does Anaerobic occur?
In muscle cells during vigorous exercise, when demand of oxygen is greeter
What is Oxygen Debt?
?Shortage of Oxygen
How does it ‘Pay Back’ Oxygen Debt?
Breathing faster and deeper
When oxygen is take in it…
Breaks down lactic acid into carbon dioxide and water
What is anaerobic respiration in yeast known as?
Fermentation
What is the equation for Aerobic respiration?
What is the equation of Anaerobic Respiration?
What is the equation for Fermentation?
