Q

(FSL) How is lactic acid removed

A

Lactic acid transported out of muscles by blood
2. Lactic acid is then taken to the liver and converted back to glucose in a series of chemical reactions
- reacting with accumulated lactic acid and removing it from cells requires oxygen

25
what is aerobic respiration?
respiration with oxygen
26
what is anaerobic respiration?
respiration without oxygen
27
what us the word equation for (aerobic) respiration?
glucose + oxygen ----> CO2 + water
28
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration?
glucose --> lactic acid
29
what is the word equation of anaerobic respiration in pant and yeast cells?
Glucose --> ethanol + CO2
30
where does aerobic respiration release energy from?
the food you've eaten
31
what are 4 uses of respiration?
1. Muscle contraction 2. maintaining optimal body temperature 3. building up larger molecules (from smaller molecules) 4. building up sugar (plant only)
32
why does muscle contraction need respiration?
the internal organs + skeletal muscles rely on energy from respiration to contract
33
why does muscle contraction need respiration?
the internal organs + skeletal muscles rely on energy from respiration to contract
34
why does maintaining optimal body temperature require energy from respiration?
it is important so that all reactions in body can be carried out
35
why does building up larger molecules from smaller molecules require respiration?
includes glucose converted into glycergen
36
why does building up sugars in pant require respiration?
turning glucose into starch as an energy storage
37
what is the role of the blood in respiration?
It is the delivery system - carries the reactants needed for respiration and then removes the waste products
38
what is role of the heart in respiration?
pumps blood to all our cells - important for heart rate to keep up demands for respiration
39
what is the role of breathing in respiration?
maintains concentration for diffusion of gases
40
what is the role of digestion in respiration?
supplies glucose - converts food eaten to molecules for bodily use
41
what is glycogen's role in respiration?
is a store of glucose which is needed for respiration
42
what are 6 changes in the body during excercise?
1. heart rate increases 2. volume of blood per beat increases 3. breathing rate increases 4. breathing depth increases 5. glycogen levels in the mucus decrease 6. blood volume increases
43
what happens to your heart rate during excercise? so?
increase - so we can pump blood to mucus faster --> so more oxygen and glucose is available
44
what happens to the volume of blood per heart beat during excercise?
increases - pumps more blood per beat --> more glucose and oxygen per beat
45
what happens to the breathing depth during excercise?
increases - as there is more air in every breath--> so more oxygen in the body per breath
46
what happens to the breathing rate during excercise?
increases as there is as faster intake of air so oxygen circulates around the body so faster excretion for CO2
47
what happens to the glycogen levels in the muscle during excercise?
decreases - it breaks down into glucose
48
what happens to the blood volume during excercise?
increases - more blood pumped
49
what are the 2 impacts of anaerobic respiration?
1. results in lactic acid build up 2. can lead to muscle fatigue
50
what is anaerobic respiration in yeast cells known as?
fermentation
51
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in plants?
Glucose ---> Ethanol + CO2
52
what is metabolism?
the sum of all reactions happening in a cell or organism in which molecules are made or broken down
53
what are 5 reactions that happen in metabolism?
1. conversions of glucose to starch, glycogen and cellulose 2. making lipids 3. making proteins 4. respiration 5. glucose and nitrates are used to make proteins (IN PLANTS)
54
what are the 3 role of lipids?
1. stores excess energy in body 2. amino acids are joined to make new proteins 3. help with insulation
55
what are oils?
liquid forms of fat
56
proteins (3)
- some already in body, some come from food -. amino acids are joined to make new proteins - used for growth and repair
57
what is urea?
breakdown of excess amino acids
58
where is urea broken down?
in the liver
59
what removes the urea?
kidneys
60
what are the 2 veins that are found in the leaf?
xylem and phloem
61
where does a plant get energy from?
energy transferred from light waves
62
what are 5 uses of glucose?
1.respiration 2. make proteins 3. stored as insoluble starch 4. make cellulose 5. converted into fats and oils
63
what are the 4 limiting factors of photosynthesis?
1. light intensity 2. temperature 3. CO2 concentration 4. chlorophyll level
64
what is the scientific word for level of?
plateau
65
where does aerobic respiration occur?
in mitochondria
66
where does anaerobic respiration occur?
in cytoplasm
67
what does inverse square law state?
if the distance (in m) doubles then the light intensity will get 4x smaller
68
What are 5 differences between aeroic and anaerobic respiration
1. Aerobic: with oxygen - Anaerobic: without 2. Aerobic: releases more energy - Anaerobic: release less energy 3. Aerobic: produces CO2 and water - Anaerobic: produces lactic acid and energy or ethanol and CO2 4. Aerobic: glucose completelyy broken down - Anaerobic: Glucose not completely broken down 5. Aerobic: occurs in mitochondria - Anaerobic: occurs in cytoplasm
