When oxygen is used in respiration it is called __________
Aerobic respiration
4 of 23
When there is not enough oxygen available cells may switch to _______
Anaerobic respiration
5 of 23
Which releases more energy?
Aerobic respiration
6 of 23
_____ of the chemical reactions in respiration are controlled by enzymes
All
7 of 23
What is breathing?
The process that gets oxygen into the body for respiration
8 of 23
Glucose + oxygen -------------> carbon dioxide + water + ENERGY
Aerobic respiration
9 of 23
Is respiration a single reaction?
No, the equation only summarises
10 of 23
Is all of the energy from respiration useful?
No, some is lost as heat
11 of 23
Measuring the amount of carbon dioxide or heat given off in a certain time or measuring thee oxygen used in a given time can find the __________
Rate of respiration
12 of 23
Which is more efficient?
Aerobic respiration, more energy is released per molecule of glucose
13 of 23
Glucose ----> lactic acid + ENERGY
Anaerobic respiration
14 of 23
Can anaerobic respiration occur in human muscle cells during vigorous exercise when demand for oxygen is greater than the lungs can supply?
Yes
15 of 23
What is the shortage of oxygen called in such situations?
Oxygen debt
16 of 23
How does the body pay back the 'oxygen debt'?
By breathing faster and deeper for a while after exercise has finished
17 of 23
What does the 'paid back' oxygen do?
Break down lactic acid into carbon dioxide and water
18 of 23
What is yeast?
Microscopic fungi
19 of 23
