12.1 Respiration Topic Checklist: C H O + 6O 6CO + 6H O

This document discusses aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It defines aerobic respiration as using oxygen to break down glucose and release energy, with the balanced equation C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. Anaerobic respiration breaks down glucose without oxygen, releasing less energy and products like ethanol or lactic acid. During vigorous exercise, muscles perform anaerobic respiration producing lactic acid faster than it can be removed, building up an oxygen debt that is later paid off by continued fast breathing and heart rate to remove lactic acid.

1 Respiration

Topic Checklist

1 State the uses of energy in living  Why do cells/ organisms need energy?
organisms - muscle contraction,
- protein synthesis,
- cell division,
- active transport,
- growth,
- the passage of nerve impulses
- the maintenance of a constant body temperature

2 Investigate and describe the effect


of temperature on respiration in
yeast

12.2 Aerobic respiration

Topic Checklist

1 Describe aerobic respiration  aerobic respiration is the chemical reactions in


cells that use oxygen to break down nutrient
molecules to release energy

2 State the word equation for


aerobic respiration glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water

3 State the balanced chemical


equation for aerobic respiration C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
as:

12.3 Anerobic respiration

Topic Checklist

1 Describe anaerobic respiration  anaerobic respiration is the chemical reactions in


cells that break down nutrient molecules to release
energy without using oxygen

2 State that anaerobic respiration  anaerobic respiration releases much less energy
releases much less energy per per glucose molecule than aerobic respiration
glucose molecule than aerobic
 much energy still store in ethanol / lactic acid
respiration
3 State the word equation for glucose → alcohol + carbon dioxide
anaerobic respiration in yeast

4 State the balanced chemical C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2


equation for anaerobic respiration
in yeast

5 State the word equation for glucose → lactic acid


anaerobic respiration in muscles
during vigorous exercise

6 State that lactic acid builds up in  during vigorous exercise, muscles carry out
muscles and blood during anaerobic respiration which produces lactic acid
vigorous exercise causing an
 this causes lactic acid to build up in muscles and
oxygen debt
blood causing an oxygen debt*

7 Outline how the oxygen debt is  oxygen debt is removed after exercise by
removed after exercise
- continuation of fast heart rate to transport lactic
acid in the blood from the muscles to the liver
- continuation of deeper and faster breathing to
supply oxygen for aerobic respiration of lactic acid
- aerobic respiration of lactic acid in the liver

*oxygen debt means extra oxygen need to be breathed in after exercise which is used to remove
lactic acid from the body. This is the reason why our breathing rate remains high and takes a few
minutes to return to resting level after exercise.
