Aerobic Respiration
Reaction that releases energy from food
Uses oxygen
produces carbon dioxide and water
Anaerobic Respiration
Reaction that releases energy from food without using oxygen
Produces lactic acid in mammals
Produces carbon dioxide and ethanol in yeast
ATP (adenosine tri phosphate)
Chemicals present in all cells
Acts as an energy ‘currency’
Molecule made up my respiration and releases energy quickly
Used up by any process that needs a supply of energy
Cellular Respiration
process where food molecules are broken down and the the stored chemical energy is released
EPOC (excessive post exercise oxygen consumption)
Difference between how much oxygen you would need if you gained all the energy by aerobic respiration and how much oxygen is actually available
oxygen debt
Mitochondria
Organelle that carries out aerobic respiration
Releases energy for the cell
Place where most of the cell’s ATP is made
Recovery time
time taken for lactic acid to be removed
time taken for breathing and heart rates to normal resting rates
Respirometer
equipment used to measure the rate of respiration
Yeast
unicellular fungus
