Factors that effect respiration Flashcards
1
Q
what factors affect respiration
A
atp requirement, glucose avaliability, oxygen avaliability, temperature and pH
2
Q
how does atp requirement affect respiration
A
if more atp is required by the cell then the rate of cellular respiration will increase
3
Q
how does glucose avalibility affect respiration
A
are glucose avliability increases so does the rate of respiration until it plateaus as a result of enzymes becoming saturated by substrate
4
Q
oxygen availibility affect respiration
A
increase in oxygen means a faster rate of aerobic respiration, if there is little to no oxygen anaerobic fermentation will occur
