Respiration Flashcards
(11 cards)
What is respiration?
Process of breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide
Purpose of respiration
To make energy
What type of respiration occurs in cytoplasm?
Anaerobic
Equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + ATP ( energy)
What type of respiration releases the most energy per molecule of glucose?
Aerobic
3 ways to investigate aerobic respiration in peas/beans?
1) temperature
2) concentration of oxygen
3)concentration of carbon dioxide
What’s oxygen debt?
Extra volume of oxygen needed to breathe in when resting after anaerobic exercise.
Equation for anaerobic respiration
Glucose -> lactic acid + ATP (energy)
Relationship between heart rate and breathing rate
Increase and decrease together
As heart rate increases, breathing rate increases
Explain why the breathing rate remains high at the end of a race
In oxygen debt , trying to repay by getting more oxygen.
Anaerobic respiration creates lactic acid
Why is anaerobic less efficient than aerobic respiration?
Less ATP produced (2 ATP)
