Soc 18 - Aerobic, Anaerobic Exercise & Energy Sources Flashcards
What is the equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water + energy
Equation for anaerbic respiration
Glucose –> energy + lactic acid
Glucose
Major source of energy for most cells in the body
Aerobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose, with oxygen
Anaerobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose, without oxygen
Aerobic exercise
Working at moderate intensity allowing the body time to utilise oxygen for energy production and to work for a continuous period
Lactic acid
A colourless acid produced in muscle tissues during strenuous exercise when the body is exercising anaerobically at high intensity
What stores glucose as glycogen in the body
The muscles and liver
______ and _______ are brought to the muscles in the blood during aerobic respiration
Oxygen and glucose
The waste products ______ and _______ are absorbed into the blood and taken away during aerobic respiration
