?
in exercise, what do muscles not receive enough of?
oxygen
1 of 18
when does ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION happen
when muscles dont recieve enough oxygen, it uses aerobic respiration as well
2 of 18
what are two disadvantages of ANaerobic respiration over aerobic respiration
-lactic acid that is made by ANaerobic respiration builds up in muscles, causing pain and fatigue. ANaerobic respiration releases much less energy per glucose molecule then aerobic respiration
3 of 18
what is the name of the incomplete breakdown of glucose which results in the build up of lactic acid
oxygen debt
4 of 18
during the recovery the breathing rate and heart rate stay high so that:
-rapid blood flow can carry lactic acid away to the liver. -extra oxygen can be supplied, enabling the liver to break down the lactic acid
5 of 18
what experiments can you do to measure the rate of respiration?
to measure how much oxygen is used up: the faster it is consumed, the faster the respiration rate. -the rate at which carbon dioxide is made
6 of 18
how can you calculate respiratory quotient?
RQ=carbon dioxide produced
7 of 18
what is metabolic rate?
is the sum of all reactions that are occurring in the body
8 of 18
what happens if the metabolic rate changes?
if it is high, more oxygen is needed, as aerobic rate is faster
9 of 18
why does change in temperature and PH change respiration rate
they affect enzymes, and respiration is controlled by enzymes
10 of 18
what are advantages of being multi cellular (as humans are)
it allows an organism to become larger and more complex. it also allows different cells to take on different jobs.
11 of 18
name of something that allows cells to take on different cells?
cell differentiation
12 of 18
when an organism becomes multi cellular, what are the systems they need
-allow communication between all the cells in the body. -supply all the cells with enough nutrents -control exchanges with the environment such as heat and gases
13 of 18
whats the process that produces new cells for growth called
mitosis
14 of 18
cells that are made by mitosis are...
genetically identical. before cells divide, DNA replication must take place. this is so that each cell produced still has
15 of 18
in mammals body cells have two copies of each chromosome, what are they called?
diploid cell
16 of 18
what happens before mitosis
DNA is replicated
17 of 18
how is DNA replicated?
-the two strands of the DNA molecule 'unzipping' to form single strands. -new double strands forming by DNA bases lining up in complementary pairings
