Aerobic Respiration
What gas do humans used in respiration
Oxygen
What organ is most involved in the breathing system?
Lungs
What is anaerobic respiration?
•This is a type of respiration where there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration to occur.
•Glucose is only partially broken down in the absence of oxygen producing only a small amount of energy.
What is the scientific name for breathing in and out?
Inhalation and Exhalation
What is the one organ that never takes a break?
The Heart
Name one factor that affects our rate of respiration.
Temperature
amount of oxygen available
amount of glucose available
Amount of water available
Name one factor that affects our respiratory system.
Asthma, Air pollution or Smoking/Vaping
Give 2 uses of anaerobic respiration in production of items.

What is the average breaths per minute that an adult takes
12 - 16 Breaths per minute
What is the 5th furthest planet from the sun?

What is the definition of respiration
Respiration is a chemical reaction in a cell where food molecules are broken down to release energy.
Name of tube that carries air into the lungs

Is respiration continuous or does it stop?
It is continuous but sometimes slows down.
What happens to the concentration of nitrogen when we breathe vs when we breathe out?
It doesn't change as our body doesn't absorb or need oxygen.

What is the Chemical equation of Respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ->6CO2 6H2O + Energy(ATP)
What is the function of the epiglottis
Block food from going into the trachea
Is aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration better at maximising energy release?
Aerobic is better
