Topic A: Energy Flashcards
1
Q
energy needed for
A
respiration, movement, heat conservation
2
Q
anaerobic
A
release of a relatively small amount of energy by the breakdown of food substances without using oxygen
3
Q
aerobic
A
release of a relatively large amount of energy in cells but the break down of food molecules using Oxygen
4
Q
lactic acid
A
when muscles are working vigorously, they stop receiving oxygen properly & undergo the process of anaerobic respiration. As a consequence, lactic acid accumulates in the muscles leading them to be sore. Therefore, breathing rate goes up to increase oxygen in muscles.
5
Q
respiration
A
the chemical reactions that break down nutrients molecules in living cells to release energy
