Aerobic respiration involve chemical reactions involving oxygen. Glucose+O2-->CO2+H2O(+Energy)

Where in your cells does respiration take place?
Mitochondria

How does your body respond to increased demands to oxygen during exercise?
An increased heart rate and depth in breathing, glycogen stores in the muscle are converted to glucose for cellular respiration, the blood flows to muscles increase.
3 of 7
What is glycogen and how is it used in the body?
It is a carbohydrate that is converted into glucose for aerobic respiration.
4 of 7
What is Anaerobic respiration?
Respiration without oxygen in the equation... Glucose-->Lactic acid(+ Energy)
5 of 7
Why is less energy released by anaerobic respiration than aerobic?
Anaerobic breakdown of glucose releases less energy than the aerobic breakdown
6 of 7
What is oxygen debt?
After exercise, oxygen is still needed to breakdown the lactic acid which has built up. The amount of oxygen needed is known as the oxygen debt.
