Aerobic Respiration

?
What does your body need energy for
To move, to grow,to keep warm
1 of 26
Where do you get energy from
Organic molecules in your food
2 of 26
What are the reactants in aerobic respiration
Glucose and oxygen
3 of 26
What is happening during aerobic respiration
You are transferring energy into your body
4 of 26
What waste products are produces
Carbon dioxide and water
5 of 26
What is word equation for aerobic respiration
glucose + oxygen -----> Carbon dioxide + water
6 of 26
Where does respiration take place
Tiny structures inside your cells called mitochondria
7 of 26
What cell carries out a lot of respiration
Muscle cells
8 of 26
What does the last question tell you
Muscle cells have a lot of mitochondria
9 of 26
What does digestion do
It breaks food down into small molecules, releasing glucose molecules
10 of 26
Where do these molecules go
They are absorbed by the wall of the small intestine, into the bloodstream
11 of 26
How is glucose transported around your body
Through your bloodstream
12 of 26
Where does it go to
It dissolved in the liquid part of your blood called plasma
13 of 26
Where does the dissolved glucose go after that
It diffuses into the cells that need it for respiration
14 of 26
What happens when you breath in
oxygen fills the alveoli in your lung
15 of 26
Where does the oxygen go after that
It diffuses into your bloodstream
16 of 26
What kind of cells is oxygen carried by
Red blood cells
17 of 26
What do red blood cells contain
haemoglobin
18 of 26
What is haemoglobin
The substance that makes red blood cells red
19 of 26
What does the oxygen join to
The haemoglobin
20 of 26
How does the oxygen get transported around the body
by blood vessels
21 of 26
What happens when the oxygen reach a cell that needs oxygen
The oxygen diffuses into the cell
22 of 26
What happens when carbon dioxide stays in your body
it could be harmfull
23 of 26
What happens when you exhail
Carbon dioxide leaves your body
24 of 26
Where does carbon dioxide go when you exhail
it diffuses out of your cells and into the blood plasma
25 of 26
Where does it go from the blood plasma
The blood transports it into the lungs, where it diffuses into the air sacs and then is exhaled
