What is anaerobic respiration
Respiration with the lack of oxygen
Waste products of aerobic respiration
Carbon dioxide & water
What could ATP be used for
Chemical digestion, muscle contractions, keeping warm, active transport, passage of nerve impulses, growth
Equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose + oxygen –> Carbon dioxide + water
Symbol equation for aerobic respiration
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ –> 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
Why anaerobic respiration produces less ATP
It involves incomplete breakdown of glucose
Where anaerobic respiration usually takes place
Muscles
When do we respire anaerobically
The body can only transport a certain amount of oxygen to the muscles so they’re unable to respire aerobically
Ẃhat happens when there’s lactic acid build up
Lowers the Ph, denatures enzymes
Why is there still energy stored in lactic acid
The glucose has not fully broken down
How is lactic acid removed
Using oxygen to produce CO₂ and H₂O
Word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals
Glucose –> lactic acid
Waste products of anaerobic respiration in plants
Ethanol & CO₂
Another name for anaerobic respiration in yeast
Fermentation
Word equation for anaerobic respiration (plants)
Glucose –> Ethanol + CO₂
What does cellular respiration release
energy from glucose
Definition of aerobic respiration
Chemical reaction in cells that uses oxygen to breakdown nutrient molecules to release energy
Definition of Anaerobic respiration
Chemical reaction in cells that breaks down nutrient molecules to release energy for use in cell processes
What happens at high intensity exercise
Muscles need more energy, but the body can only transport a certain amount of oxygen
What happens when oxygen runs out during exercise
Glucose is not fully broken down by it, so it produces lactic acid
Anaerobic resp. produces … energy than aerobic resp.
Less
Chemical equation for anaerobic respiration (animals)
C₆H₂O₆ –> 2 C₃H₆O₃
Whats the amount of oxygen needed to breakdown lactic acid called
Oxygen dept
Chemical equation for anaerobic respiration (plants)
C₆H₁₂O₆ –> 2 C₂H₅OH + 2 CO₂
