- Anaerobic Respiration
- Anaerobic respiration is the absence of air. not using oxygen
- in yeast cells: glucose - ethanol + carbon dioxide
- in yeast cells: C6H12O6 - 2C2H50H + 2CO2
- in muscle cells: glucose - lactic acid (+ some energy)
- in muscle cells: C6H12O6 - 2C3H6O3 (+ some energy)
- Using yeast
- Wine making
- Beer Making
- Baking bread
- Exercise
- Exercise uses up available O2 and the body can't supply enough O2 to the tissues.
- provides energy to keep the muscle going for longer but produces lactic acid.
- the lactic acid builds up in the blood stream causing cramps
- To get rid of the lactic acid the muscle must be oxidised. This is called repaying the oxygen debt.
