Topic 1.3- Anaerobic and Aerobic Exercise Flashcards
What is aerobic respiration?
What is anaerobic respiration?
What is lactic acid?
What is glucose?
What is glycogen?
What does ATP stand for a what is it?
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
What is the energy in this word equation?
The process of releasing energy from glucose using oxygen.
The process of releasing energy from glucose, without oxygen.
A waste product of anaerobic respiration.
The major source of energy for most cells in the body.
The stored form of carbohydrate mainly located in the muscles and liver and readily available as a fuel source.
Adenosine Triphosphate which is the only source of energy the muscles can use.
Glucose + Oxygen—Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy.
ATP energy.
What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration?
What type of exercise is this when it increases your heart rate to a certain level?
What are the percentages for this?
What are some examples of aerobic exercise?
What are some examples of anaerobic exercise?
When does the anaerobic system become the primary source of energy?
What is the waste product of anaerobic respiration and what does it cause?
Glucose—Energy + Lactic acid.
Aerobic exercise.
Between 65% and 85%.
Long distance running, swimming and cycling.
Sprinting, lifting weights and playing football.
When the demands of exercise are too much for aerobic respiration.
Lactic acid which is toxic, causes cramps, nausea and vomiting in extreme cases.
What is lactic acid?
What is a cramp?
What is glycaemic index?
What is glycogen?
What happens when the threshold of lactic acid in someone’s body is reached?
What does lactic acid cause?
What must the body do and why?
Acid produced in muscle tissues during strenuous exercise, when the muscle is respiring anaerobically.
Involuntary contraction of muscle caused by an ion imbalance.
A figure representing the relative ability of a carbohydrate food to increase the level of glucose in the blood.
The stored form of carbohydrate found mainly in the liver and muscles.
The concentration rises rapidly.
Aching/burning sensation and sometimes vomiting if in large enough concentrations.
Must stop exercising to allow body to remove lactic acid from the blood.
What are carbohydrates?
What are they only stored in?
What are they broken down into and where is this stored?
What is some of the excess stored as and where?
What does low/high GI mean?
What are fats broken down into?
What are any not used, stored as?
What are fats used as and for what type of exercises?
Main source of energy for high intensity exercise.
Small amounts.
Broken down into glucose or glycogen which is absorbed in the small intestine.
Some excess stored in liver as reserve rest of excess glucose stored as fat.
Low/high glycaemic index.
Fatty acids.
Stored in fat cells.
Main fuel source for long duration/low intensity.
