General
A series of chemical reactions in every cell that continuously releases energy from food molecules.
What is respiration?
Carbon dioxide + Water
What are the products of aerobic respiration?
Glucose + oxygen
What is needed for aerobic respiration to occur?
What are the reactants of aerobic respiration?
Alveoli
Where does gas exchange take place in humans?
The number of breaths per minute
What is breathing rate?
Mitochondria
Where does respiration take place?
C6H12O6
What is the chemical formula for glucose?
20 times greater
How many times greater is the energy released by aerobic respiration than anaerobic respiration?
Spongy mesophyll cells
What is the main respiratory surface in plants?
Increased depth and rate of breathing
How does the body bring in larger volumes of oxygen when breathing during exercise?
Muscles and Yeast cells
Where can aerobic respiration occur?
Limewater
What can be used to show/prove anaerobic respiration in yeast?
Diffusion
How does oxygen move from the alveoli to the capillaries and carbon dioxide from the capillaries into the alveoli?
Faster recovery/Faster return to resting breathing rate?
What can you observe in an individual who is fitter than another?
Alcohol + carbon dioxide
What are the products of anaerobic respiration in yeast?
There are many alveoli with a round shape
How do alveoli have a large surface area for gas exchange?
Lactic acid
What is the product of anaerobic respiration in muscles?
2 layers of cells
How is a short diffusion distance created between alveoli and capillaries?
