Q

Why did the products of aerobic respiration go?

A

carbon dioxide is released through our lungs through gas exchange
water is used or excreted in sweat urine or breath
energy is used within the same cell

Q

Why do we anaerobically respire and what are the advantages?

A

we anaerobically respire when muscles are not receiving enough oxygen, this is an advantage as it allows muscles to work for longer without oxygen.

Q

What are the downsides to anaerobic respiration? (Name three)

A

anaerobic respiration does not release as much energy as aerobic respiration
anaerobic respiration builds up a lactic acid in muscles which causes pain and muscle fatigue
when muscles respire anaerobically they build up an oxygen debt so when you stop exercising your body needs to repay the debt to all the muscles needed

Q

What can we use the products of anaerobic respiration in plants and fungi for?

A

carbon dioxide is used in breadmaking as the pockets of carbon dioxide get trapped and causes of bread to rise
ethanol is using beer and wine making use releases alcohol which eventually kills the yeast
