Anareobic And Aerobic Exercise Flashcards
Where is glucose stored
The liver
equation for Aerobic respiration
Glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
What are the two components the body needs to function
Water and glucose
Whats the equation for anaerobic energy system
Glucose -> energy + lactic acid
How does lactic acid affect the body
It is toxic. After a while, it makes your muscles ache. It can cause cramp and cause the muscles to stop working
Glucose
A major source of energy for all cells
Glucose
A major source of energy for most cells in the body
Aerobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose, using oxygen.
Anaerobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose, without oxygen.
Aerobic exercise
Working at a moderate intensity allowing the body time to utilise oxygen for energy production and to work for a continuous period, eg. Long - distance events.
Lactic acid
A colourless acid produced in muscle tissues during strenuous exercise when the body is exercising anaerobically at high intensity
Cramp
Painful, involuntary contraction of a muscle, usually caused by fatigue
