What is glucose?
Is a major source of energy for most cells in the body.
What is lactic acid

Because it is toxic
What are two examples of energy sources?
Carbohydrates and Fats (lipid)

Co2 + Water - which are absorbed in the blood and taken away
What is the formula for anaerobic respiration?
Glucose = Energy + Lactic Acid
What is the intensity of aerobic respiration?
Moderate
What intensity do you work at in anerobic repiration?
High intensity
Where are carbohydrates delivered to the cells via?
The liver
Explain the difference between complex and simple carbohydrates.
