Energy | What respiration provides. It is needed for life processes |
Aerobic | Type of respiration which uses oxygen |
Metabolic rate | Measurement of how fast our body is using energy |
Oxygen | The rate at which this gas is consumed tells us our metabolic rate |
Glucose | The preferred fuel for respiration |
Burning | Unlike respiration, this process is uncontrolled, produces flames and is often incomplete |
Calorimetry | The type of experiment used to measure the energy value of foods |
Water | A liquid produced by aerobic respiration |
Enzymes | Control the rate of respiration |
Mitochondria | Where aerobic respiration takes place |
Lactic acid | Poison produced by anaerobic respiration in humans |
Anaerobic | Type of respiration which doesn't use oxygen |
More energy | Why do organisms use aerobic respiration when they can |
Oxygen debt | Phrase used to describe the oxygen needed to break down lactic acid after exercise |
Muscles | Site of anaerobic respiration in humans, where lactic acid builds up |
Fatigue | Effect of lactic acid build up in muscles |
Ethanol | Poison made by yeast during anaerobic respiration |
Carbon dioxide | Gas made by yeast during anaerobic respiration |
Bread | Food which is made using anaerobically respiring yeast |
Alcohol | Common name for ethanol |
Beer | Drink made using anaerobically respiring yeast and barley |
Wine | Drink made using anaerobically respiring yeast and fruit |
Poisoned | What happens to yeast cells when the ethanol builds up |
Fermentation | Another name for anaerobic respiration in yeast |
Liver | Where lactic acid is broken down |
Blood | Where cells get their oxygen and glucose from |
Photosynthesis | The equation for aerobic respiration is the reverse of the equation for this process |
Exercise | A common cause of anaerobic respiration |
Fungi | Yeast is a member of this group of organisms |
Yeast | Anaerobically respiring organism, used to make beer and bread |
