respiration + muscles Flashcards
aerobic and anaerobic (14 cards)
what is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
oxygen + glucose -> carbon dioxide + water
what is the balanced equation for respiration
C6 H12 O6+ 6O2-> 6CO2+6H2O
what is anaerobic respiration
when glucose is broken down in the absence of oxygen to respirate.
when you exercise your muscle cells…
muscle cells become short of oxygen.
what is oxygen debt?
the extra oxygen the body needs after exercise to convert lactic acid back into glucose
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration
glucose -> lactic acid + energy
what is the balanced symbol equation for anaerobic respiration in animals
C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₃H₆O₃ + energy (ATP
What happens when your heart rate increases list three things
more oxygen is being transported to red blood cells
more glucose are being transported to mitochondria
more carbon dioxide get transported to the lungs
what are muscles made up of
protein fibres
what do muscles need a lot of to contract
energy
what do muscles have a lot of and why?
mitochondria to carry out a lot of aerobic respiration and transfer the energy needed
what do your muscles store
glucose as the carbohydrate glycogen.
what does glycogen do which benefits the muscles
rapidly turn glycogen to glucose to exercise.
why does your heart and breathing rate increase
your heart and breathing rate increases since the heart cannot supply enough oxygen fast enough.
