Aerobic Respiration where oxygen is used to release 1. Respiration is classed as an endothermic reaction as energy is released.
respiration lots of energy 2. The energy from respiration is used to; drive all chemical reactions to occur, allow the
Anaerobic Respiration where oxygen is NOT used and organism to move, to keep animals at a constant temperature, for cell division, to maintain
respiration releases only small amount of energy constant internal conditions, to help cells move molecules from low to high concentrations
Fermentation Anaerobic respiration in yeast by active transport.
3. During aerobic respiration the glucose is fully oxidised in the mitochondria.
Oxygen debt The amount of extra oxygen the body needs 4. During anaerobic respiration, glucose is broken down to release energy in the absence of
after exercise to react with the built up lactic oxygen.
acid and remove it from the cells 5. During exercise, the body will experience: increased heart rate, increased breathing rate
Metabolism All of the chemical reactions in a cell or the and increased volume of air breathed in and sweating.
6. Lactic acid, when transported to the liver, can be either oxidised into carbon dioxide and
body
water or converted back to glucose to then be stored as glycogen.
Lactic Acid Produced during anaerobic respiration in 7. The ethanol produced during anaerobic respiration in yeast can be used to brew alcohol and
animals. the carbon dioxide helps bread dough rise.
Anabolic Reactions where larger molecules are
reactions produced from smaller ones. E.g. starch Word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals
molecules formed from glucose molecules in
plants, proteins constructed from amino acids
Catabolic Reactions where smaller molecules are KS4: Respiration
reactions produced from larger ones. E.g. fats are Word equation for anaerobic respiration in plants
broken down fatty acids and glycerol, glucose
is broken down during aerobic respiration to
form carbon dioxide and water.
Oxygen Debt The amount of additional oxygen required by
the body to remove lactic acid in the liver.
