Respiration Flashcards
(30 cards)
What does Respiration Release?
Energy
Word Equation for Aerobic Respiration
Glucose + Oxygen—> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
Word Equation For Anerobic Respiration in MUSCLES
Glucose—-> Lactic Acid + Energy
Difference between Aerobic and Anerobic
Anerobic doesn’t use oxygen
Aerobic Does
Which Respiration is Faster?
Anerobic
Which Respiration Releases More Energy?
Aerobic
What does Anerobic Respiration Produce in Yeast
Alcohol/Ethanol
Word Equation for Anerobic Respiration in Yeast
Glucose—> Carbon Dioxide + Ethanol + energy
Method of Experiment of Anerobic Respiration in Yeast
1) Boil a solution of Alcohol
2) Cool the glucose before adding yeast cells
3) Add a layer of oil to glucose containing yeast
Why is Glucose Boiled
To remove oxygen
Kill Bacteria
Why is glucose cooled before adding yeast cells
It can kill the yeast cells if it is too hot
Why is a layer of Oil Added?
So it doesn’t react with oxygen
Changes Observed from the Anerobic respiration in Yeast Practical
Limewater turns milky
bubbles
heat produces
Where is the Respiratory System in Human
Chest
What is the chest surrounded by?
Intercostal Muscle
What is below intercostal muscle
Diaphragm
What happens to the air as it passes through the nasal cavity?
1) It is Warmed
2) It is Filtered
How are lungs adapted?
1)Large Surface Area
2)Thin
3) Moist
4)permeable
5) A good blood supply
6) A good Diffusion Gradient
Explain why the lungs have large surface area?
Each lung has many small air sacs called alveoli, which provide a large surface area for gas exchange, helping humans breathe efficiently.
Explain the Lung’s Permeable Surfaces
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide can pass through the walls of Alveolus easily
Explain the Lung’s good diffusion gradient
Maintained by blood supply and constant breathing in and out
Explain the Lungs Good Blood Supply
Capillaries around alveoli help oxygen get into the bloodstream and take carbon dioxide back to the lungs for breathing out, keeping our body supplied with oxygen and removing waste gas.
Explain the Lung’s Moisture
Oxygen dissolves in the liquid before diffusing across the wall of alveolus . this helps increase the rate of diffusion
Define Breathing Rate
is the number of breaths per minute
