Soc18 Aerobic And Anaerobic Respiration Flashcards
Aerobic respiration word equation
Glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy
Anaerobic respiration word equation
Glucose = lactic acid + energy
Aerobic respiration in calorie deficit
Fat + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy
Aerobic (with or without oxygen)
With oxygen
Anaerobic (with or without oxygen)
Without oxygen
Glucose
A major source of energy for most cells in the body
Aerobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose using oxygen
Anaerobic respiration
