Cellular
The number of stages of cellular respiration
What is 3?
Tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange takes place.
What is the alveoli?
The feeling of muscle pain during intense exercise is due to build-up of this substance.
What is lactic acid?
C₆H₁₂O₆
What is glucose?
The word equation for aerobic respiration.
What is Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy?
What is the balanced symbol equation for Aerobic respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ATP)
The main muscle responsible for inhalation.
What is the diaphragm?
The term for the oxygen you need to breathe after exercise to break down lactic acid.
What is oxygen debt?
A state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly.
What is homeostasis?
The liquid produced as a waste product in aerobic respiration.
What is water (H₂O)?
The energy-carrying molecule produced by respiration that cells use directly.
What is ATP (adenosine triphosphate)?
The process of moving air in and out (not to be confused with respiration).
What is ventilation?
The two products of anaerobic respiration in yeast.
What are ethanol and carbon dioxide?
Glucose → Lactic Acid (+ some energy)
What is anaerobic respiration?
The organ system that includes the trachea, bronchi, and alveoli.
What is the respiratory system?
The cell organelle where aerobic respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondrion?
This gas, a waste product of respiration, is carried in the blood to the lungs to be exhaled.
What is carbon dioxide?
One industrial use of anaerobic respiration in yeast.
What is brewing (or baking)?
The gas that turns limewater cloudy in respiration experiments.
What is carbon dioxide (CO₂)?
A use of energy from respiration for movement.
What is muscle contraction?
The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
What is oxygen (O2)?
The features of alveoli that provide a large surface area for efficient gas exchange.
What is their vast number and small, sac-like structure?
The total net ATP yield from one molecule of glucose during aerobic respiration
What is 36-38 ATP?
Using energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
Why we breathe harder and faster during exercise.
What is to get more oxygen for aerobic respiration and to remove carbon dioxide?
