Aerobic Respiration
The process or releasing energy, using oxygen. goes on all the time in all cells (in the mitochondria) GLUCOSE + OXYGEN = CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER (+ENERGY)
1 of 6
Reasons For Respiration
to build up long molecules from smaller ones, allows muscles to contract, maintaining constant body temperature
2 of 6
Effects of Exercise
Increases heart rate (faster blood flow), increases breathing rate (more deeply fit the demand for more oxygen)
3 of 6
Glycogen
glucose from food is stored as glycogen, each muscle has its own store, can be converted back during exercise.
4 of 6
Anaerobic Respiration
releasing energy without oxygen, incomplete breakdown of glucose GLUCOSE = ENERGY + LACTIC ACID, not as effective and not nearly as much energy
5 of 6
Oxygen Debt
Repaying the oxygen you didn't get to your muscles in time. keep breathing hard for a while to get oxygen into your blood
