Aerobic respiration, exo or endo reaction
Exo because it gives out energy
Aerobic respiration equation
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
why is ANAerobic not as effective as AErobic
-The glucose molecules don’t get broken down completely
-Transfers less energy
where does respiration happen
mitochondria
what do animals use respiration for
-contraction of muscles
-regulates temperature
what do plants use respiration for
-energy moves minerals from soil to root hair cells
-converts nutrients into amino acids
What happens in intense excersize
-heart rate increases
-arteries supplying blood widen
-breathing rate increases
-glycogen is converted to glucose to fuel cellular respiration
What is the by-product of anaerobic respiration
lactic acid
What causes muscle fatigue
Build up of lactic acid from anaerobic respiration
How does your body get rid of excess lactic acid
Converted back to glucose in the liver
Why does oxygen debt happen
Oxygen is needed to convert lactic acid into glucose, so you need to keep breathing heavily even after exercise to pay off ur oxygen debt to the Van Der Linde gang…
i guess… im afraid… :(
Oxygen debt repayment
lactic acid+ oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
Metabolism definition
sum of all reactions taking place in cell or body
