Unit Two- Anaerobic Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
what is obligate anaerobes
A
CO2 is used as an electron accepter
2
Q
what is facultative anaerobes
A
cells make ATP using glycolysis followed by fermentation
-produces smaller amounts of ATP
3
Q
where does ethanol fermentation occur
A
yeast cells
4
Q
where does lactic acid fermentation occur
A
muscle or animal cells
5
Q
what is a VO2 max
A
maximum amount of oxygen an individual can utilize during exercise
-the more O2 you cam use during exercise the more ATP you can produce
6
Q
Lactate Threshold
A
the point where lactate builds up faster then the body can remove it
-marked by a slight drop in pH
7
Q
oxygen debt
A
-when exercise is over lactate converts back to pyruvate and enters Kreb’s
-taking oxygen back into your cells
