Q

When does anaerobic respiration occur?

A

When the body can’t get enough oxygen so it has to take energy from glucose and give it to your cells

Q

List 3 differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration:

A

1) Aerobic needs oxygen to take place, anaerobic doesn’t
2) aerobic releases more energy than anaerobic
3) anaerobic respiration takes place in the cytoplasm unlike aerobic which takes place in the mitochondria

16
Q

Why might you need to respire anaerobically in some sports? And which sports?

A

Because when you exercise in short energetic bursts in sports like SPRINTING and WEIGHTLIFTING, you can’t get the amount of oxygen your body needs to respire aerobically, so you have to respire anaerobically (without oxygen)

17
Q

What is oxygen debt and when does it happen?

A

Oxygen debt is the oxygen in your body that you use to get rid of the lactic acid that was produced during anaerobic respiration.

18
Q

Why might you be breathing deeply after exercise?

A

So your body can quickly replace the oxygen from your oxygen debt

19
Q

Which sports require aerobic respiration?

A
  • jogging

- long distance swimming

20
Q

What is gas exchange?

A

The process of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanging in the alveoli

21
Q

Oxygen passes from the …….. into the ………

A

Alveoli

Blood

22
Q

Carbon dioxide passes from the …….. into the ………

A

Blood

Alveoli

23
Q

What is diffusion in gas exchange?

A

The spreading out of oxygen and carbon dioxide particles between the walls of the alveoli

24
Q

What is the waste product of respiration?

A

Carbon dioxide

25
Q

List 3 ways in which the lungs are well adapted for gas exchange:

A

1) they are moist
2) they have alveoli which have a large surface area and capillaries
3) they have a good blood supply

26
Q

What is the difference between breathing and respiration?

A

BREATHING is the mechanism of getting gases in and out of your body, but respiration is the actual chemical reaction, using the gases breathed in

27
Q

What happens when you breathe in?

A
  • diaphragm CONTRACTS and FLATTENS
  • intercostal muscles CONTRACT, moving the rib cage UP and OUT.
  • volume INCREASES and pressure DECREASES
  • Air rushes IN
28
Q

What happens when you breathe out?

A
  • diaphragm RELAXES and moves UP
  • intercostal muscles RELAX, moving the rib cage DOWN and IN.
  • volume DECREASES and pressure INCREASES
  • Air rushes OUT
29
Q

What is lung volume and what is it measured in?

A

the total amount of air in your lungs

Measured in cm3

30
Q

1cm3 = ?

A

1ML

31
Q

What factors can affect lung volume?

A
  • height
  • age
  • weight
32
Q

How can lung volume be measured?

A

Using a Spirogram

33
Q

What factors can affect your respiratory and breathing system?

A
  • exercise
  • asthma
  • smoking
34
Q

what is the chemical reaction in plants that has a product of carbon dioxide?

A

Respiration (aerobic)
