Explain the ATP cycle
Energy is used to bond a phosphate with ADP
Explain what happens in the mitochondria during respiration?
smaller molecule and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide water and ATP
Define oxygen debt
the amount of oxygen needed to break down the remaining lactic acid
name the products of alcoholic fermentation
carbon dioxide and alcohol
What is a respirometer?
the apparatus used to measure the uptake of oxygen
Name 3 reasons why ATP is a good way of storing energy in the body
- the cell may not need the energy immediately
- energy from ATP can be available instantly
-energy is stored in small packages
How do plants and animals get rid of the carbon dioxide produced during respiration?
breathing out, diffusion through stomata

what helps in breaking down glucose during alcoholic respiration?
enzymes
how can we demonstrate the release of carbon dioxide in yeast under anaerobic condition
glu+yeast, use oil to eliminate the air
