Inputs and Outputs
Inputs for the process of making energy in the body (in ideal conditions)
Oxygen (O2)
Glucose/Sugar (C6H12O6)
Water (H2O)
Structure where cellular respiration takes place in the cell
Mitochondria
The reason we breathe harder when we exercise
To take in more oxygen to make energy, and to release the carbon dioxide that is produced as a byproduct
Outputs of the process of making energy in the body (in ideal conditions)
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Water (H2O)
The chemical name for energy in the body
ATP
The reason you get a sugar rush when you eat candy
More glucose intake enables the body to produce more energy
Inputs for the BACKUP process of making energy in the body
Glucose/Sugar (C6H12O6)
Water (H2O)
Name of the process that produces energy when oxygen is present
Aerobic Cellular Respiration
The reason we drink more water when we exercise
Water is required to produce energy, so we need more water if we want to have more energy
Outputs for the BACKUP process of making energy in the body
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Water (H2O)
Lactic acid
Name of the process that produces energy when not enough oxygen is present
Anaerobic cellular respiration
The substance your body produces that makes your muscles burn
Lactic acid
