What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + Water ---> Glucose + Oxygen
1 of 12
What is the equation for respiration?
Glucose + Oxygen ---> Carbon dioxide + Water
2 of 12
What is the equation for anaerobic respiration?
Glucose ---> Energy + Lactice acid
3 of 12
What is respiration?
The process of releasing energy from glucose, this goes on in every cell.
4 of 12
What does respiration do?
Allows muscles to contract, Keep the body temperature stable, Build up larger molecules
5 of 12
What does respiration in plants do?
Builds sugars and nitrates to build into proteins.
6 of 12
What do muscles need to contract?
Oxygen and Glucose
7 of 12
Whats more efficient, anaerobic or aerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration
8 of 12
What happens when muscle activity is increased?
More oygen and glucose needs to be supplied, so blood floes faster (higher heart rate), and breathing becomes faster.
9 of 12
Where is glycogen stored?
The liver and muscles have their own stores
10 of 12
Why do muscles use glycogen?
When all glucose is used up, glycogen is converted back into glucose to provide energy.
11 of 12
What does glycogen produce?
Lactic acid
