Anaerobic respiration
Glucose ➡ energy + lactic acid
Glucose
a major source of energy for most cells in the body.

Aerobic respiration
the process of releasing energy from glucose, using oxygen.
Aerobic respiration
the process of releasing energy from glucose, using oxygen.
Anaerobic respiration
the process of releasing energy from glucose, without oxygen.
Anaerobic respiration
the process of releasing energy from glucose, without oxygen.
Aerobic exercise
working at a moderate intensity allowing the body time to utilise oxygen for energy production and to work for a continuous period, e.g. long-distance events.
Anaerobic esercise
anaerobic activities are usually short but
intense e.g. sprinting, lifting weights and jumping.
Lactic acid
a colourless acid produced in muscle tissues during strenuous exercise when the body is exercising anaerobically at high intensity.
Cramp
painful, involuntary contraction of a muscle, usually caused by fatigue.

Aerobic respiration
Glucose+oxygen➡️carbon dioxide+water+energy
