Uses of energy in the body
Contraction of muscles
passage of nerve impulses
growth
cell divison
active transport
maintenance of constant body tempereture
Define aerobic respiration
aerobic respiration are the chemical reactions in cells that use oxygen to break down nutriet molecules to release energy
Word equation for aerobic respiration
Balanced
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 → 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O
(glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water).
define Unaerobic respiration and state energy release
Unaerobic respiration are the reactions in cells which break down nutrient molecules to release energy without using oxgen
Unaerobic respiration release less energy per glucose molecule as compared to aerobic
anaerobic respiration in yeast
balanced
glucose> alcohol+ water
C6H12O6 ⟶ 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
equation for vigorous exercise in muscles
glucose>lactic acid
define oxygen debt and how it is removed
an oxygen debt happends during vigorous exercise when lactic acids builds up in muscles
There is continuation of fast and deeper breathing to supply oxygen to the liver for aerobic respiration of yeast and to remove carbon di oxide and fast heart rate to trasnport lactic acid in the blood of muscles to the liver
