respiration

Word equation for aerobic respiration in animals

Glucose + oxygen ——> carbon dioxide + water ( + energy )

Symbol equation for aerobic respiration in animals

C^6 H^12 O^6 + O^2 ——> CO^2 + H^2O

Word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals

Glucose —→ lactic acid ( + energy)

Word equation for anaerobic respiration in plants

What is fermentation? Can you name the word equation?

Anaerobic respiration in plants, this is used when there is not enough oxygen available.

The word equation is: glucose ——> ethanol + carbon dioxide

Word equation for aerobic respiration in plants

Carbon dioxide + glucose ——> water + oxygen ( + energy )

What is oxygen debt?

• Oxygen debt is what happens when the body is doing intense exercising - requiring lots of oxygen in order to release energy.

• When the body cannot keep up with the demand for energy aerobically it switches to anaerobic respiration.

• This is where lactic acid is produced as well as energy being released.

• Lactic acid is toxic and a build up can be dangerous so it must be taken to the liver to be broken down - using oxygen.

• This extra amount of oxygen reacting with lactic acid causes oxygen debt.
