| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Definition of respiration | RELEASING energy from glucose |
| Where respiration takes place | All cells of all organisms |
| Releasing energy from glucose using oxygen | Aerobic respiration |
| Word equation for aerobic respiration | Glucose + oxygen > carbon dioxide + water |
| Releasing energy from glucose without using oxygen | Anaerobic respiration |
| Word equation for anaerobic respiration | Glucose > lactic acid |
| Consequence of lactic acid | |
| Consequence of lactic acid in muscles | Fatigue and cramps |
| How the body gets rid of lactic acid | Liver breaks it down using oxygen |
| Name given to increased requirement for oxygen after anaerobic respiration | Oxygen debt |
| Name for anaerobic respiration in yeast | Fermentation |
| Word equation for fermentation | Glucose > alcohol + carbon dioxide |
| Uses of fermentation | Brewing alcohol and bread making |
| Why aerobic respiration is better than anaerobic | More energy released per molecule of glucose, no lactic acid produced |
