Respiration

Cards (15)

  • what is the equation for aerobic respiration?

    C6H12O6 + 6O2 ➡️ 6CO2 + 6H2O
  • what is the word equation for aerobic respiration?

    glucose + oxygen ➡️ carbon dioxide + water
  • what is the formula equation for aerobic respiration? 

    .
  • what is the equation formula for anaerobic respiration in yeast?

    .
  • what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in muscles/animal cells?

    glucose -> lactic acid
  • what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast?

    glucose ➡️ alcohol + carbon dioxide
  • do plants respire ALL the time?

    yes
  • do plants photosynthesise ALL the time?

    no, only when there is sunlight
  • what are the factors that affect rate of respiration?

    • temperature
    • pH
  • where does aerobic respiration occur?

    in the mitochondria
  • which chemical can be used to show that cells respire aerobically?
    limewater (turns cloudy in the presence of oxygen)
  • does peristalsis require energy from respiration?

    yes
  • what causes oxygen debt?

    lactic acid buildup in the muscles and blood during vigorous exercise when breathing anaerobically
  • how does the body get rid of oxygen debt?

    • fast heart rate to transport lactic acid from the muscles to liver
    • deeper + faster breathing to supply oxygen
    • aerobic respiration of lactic acid in daliver
  • why oxygen consumption does not immediately return to resting level after 

    • oxygen used to breakdown lactic acid from the muscles
    • heart rate continues to be high after exercise
    • as lactic acid combines with oxygen, oxygen is paid off
    • happens in daliver by aerobic respiration
    • fast heart rate helps transport lactic acid as quickly possible to muskce to liver
