How do genes control what a cell does?
genes are the instructions for making proteins; they control the proteins a cell makes

What are structural proteins?
used to build the body (e.g. collagen to build tendons)

What are functional proteins?
they take part in the chemical reactions of the body (e.g enzymes used in digestion - amylase)

give the word equation for aerobic respiration
glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + (energy)
13 of 18
give the word equation for anaerobic respiration
glucose = lactic acid + (energy)

give the word equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast
takes place when there is not enough oxygen but energy is required. This happens when an athlete runs very fast but the body cannot supply enough oxygen. The only reactant is glucose! The product is lactic acid.

What is the oxygen debt?
To get rid of lactic acid the person will pant in order to get a good supply of oxygen. It will convert painful lactic acid to harmless carbon dioxide and water
