Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration
Cards (20)
- The process where energy from food is made available for cells to do the necessary work to survive
- uses oxygen
- Food is digested, absorbed, and travels through the blood stream reaching all body cells
- Maker their own food via photosynthesis in leaves and travels in phloem tubes reaching all body cells
- Inhaled through the lungs and diffuses into the blood stream and transported to all body cells
- Either comes from photosynthesis or diffusion through leaves
- When glucose combines with oxygen
- Energy derives from food
- waste products of aerobic respiration
- Carbon dioxide diffuses back into blood stream and exhaled out the lungs
- Use CO2 in photosynthesis
- C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----> energy + 6Co2 +H2O
- Glucose is broken down in a series releasing energy. Energy is used to convert ADP to ATP. (tiny packet) to be stored and used later
- Energy can be released from ATP rapidly, comes in a large quantity (energy isn't wasted), can be stored and used later, and can be used when/wherever
- Mitochondria
- occurs w/o O2
- Occurs w/ strenuous activity. Muscle cells needs more energy, so the person pants and their breathing and heart rate increase to provide oxygen. Sweating occurs to release extra energy as heat. Oxygen becomes inadequate despite panting and increase heart rate. Muscle cells respire anaerobically.
- waste product of anaerobic respiration
- Lactic acid needs to be disposed immediately, so oxygen can convert it into a chemical like glucose so that in can bee completely disintegrated aerobically
- oxygen required to dispose lactic acid
