Q

Word equation for aerobic respiration
Balanced

A

C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 → 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O
(glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water).

Q

define Unaerobic respiration and state energy release

A

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

Q

define oxygen debt and how it is removed

A

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
