1 of 8
What do you need to increase the rate of for aerobic respiration?
The rate at which oxygen and glucose reach the muscles. You need to remove the extra waste produced carbon dioxide more quickly.
2 of 8
What is aerobic respiration?
Release of energy from glucose using air.
3 of 8
What happens as the heart rate increases? Why?
The blood vessels supplying the muscles dilate, allowing more blood containing oxygen and glucose to reach the muscles.
4 of 8
What increase in exercise?
Heart rate, breathing rate and depth of each breath.
5 of 8
Why does your breathing rate and depth of breath increase?
Allows a greater uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide.
6 of 8
How do muscles store glucose?
As glycogen
7 of 8
