Unit 4– Energy Supply/ Effects of exercise on body Flashcards
1
Q
Carbohydrates
A
- contain glucose
- i.e. bread, potatoes
2
Q
Glucose storing
A
- in muscles as glycogen
- in liver (and released when glucose levels in blood fall low)
3
Q
why glucose important
A
- important energy source needed by all cells in our body (aka sugar)
4
Q
what is glycogen
A
- form of glucose
- stored in liver and muscles
- immediate source of energy
5
Q
aerobic respiration equation
A
glucose+ oxygen= water+CO2+Energy
6
Q
what can energy be used for
A
cell activity
7
Q
anaerobic respiration equation
A
glucose= lactic acid +energy
8
Q
what produced in aerobic respiration
A
- heat to maintain body temp.
- water (transported by blood, used by body or expelled by urine)
- CO2 (then removed by blood or exhaled through lungs)
9
Q
what produced in anaerobic respiration
A
- lactic acid
10
Q
what is anaerobic respiration
A
process of converting glucose into energy without oxygen
11
Q
lactic acid
A
- waste product
- makes muscles tired and painful
- prevents further energy from being created until it’s removed
12
Q
how is lactic acid broken down
A
- by oxygen
- lactic acid= CO2 + H2O
13
Q
name for oxygen required to remove lactic acid
A
- oxygen debt
14
Q
aerobic respiration
A
- oxygen present
- low amounts of energy used during long period of time
- i.e. marathon running, skiing gently
15
Q
anaerobic respiration
A
- lots of energy in small amounts
- powerful sports (i.e. sprinting, weight lifting)
- no or lack of oxygen
