B2 Respiration and Exercise

?
Define Respiration
The process of breaking down glucose to release energy which occurs in every living cell
1 of 20
Word Equation for Aaerobic respiration
Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water (+ Energy)
2 of 20
What does the circulatory system carry?
Glucose, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide
3 of 20
What are the smallest blood vessels? Why are they important?
Capillaries, situated close by to every cell to supply them with glucose and oxygen and take away carbon dioxide
4 of 20
What is the process called whereby glucose, oxygen and carbon dioxide move between the cells and capillaries?
Diffusion
5 of 20
Define Diffusion
The gradual movement of particles from places of high concentration to low concentration
6 of 20
When cells respire what do they use and what do they produce?
Use oxygen and glucose and produce carbon dioxide
7 of 20
What affects the rate of diffusion?
The difference in concentration
8 of 20
The faster the rate of diffusion the bigger...
the difference in concentration
9 of 20
Why do muscles need energy from respiration?
To contract
10 of 20
During exercise, where does the need for more energy come from?
Increased respiration
11 of 20
During respiration, why do we need to breathe more?
To meet the oxygen demand of the cells and remove carbon dioxide more quickly
12 of 20
During vigorous exercise, how does your body meet the demand for oxygen?
Anaerobic respiration
13 of 20
Cardiac output is the...
Volume of the blood the heart pumps in one minute
14 of 20
Cardiac output =
Heart rate x Stroke volume
15 of 20
Why does the body begin to use anaerobic respiration? What is the equation for this?
Because there is not enough oxygen available. Glucose = Lactic Acid (+Energy)
16 of 20
During anaerobic respiration, explain where lactic acid is found and what it causes
Builds up in the muscles causing pain and resulting in cramp.
17 of 20
The amount of oxygen debt which needs to be paid back is called...
Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)
18 of 20
How can you measure breathing and heart rate? How can this be made more reliable?
Counting breaths and taking the pulse. By doing this as a groups and plotting the average pulse rate.
19 of 20
What is respiration?
The process by which energy breaks down glucose to release energy from food.
