Define respiration
Series of chemical reaction that release energy Catalyse by enzyme so rate of respiration is sensitive to changes in temperature and pH
Aerobic respiration
Requires oxygen Occurs in mitochondria Produce more ATP
Anaerobic respiration
Requires no oxygen Occurs in cytosol Produce less ATP
Respiration usage
Contract muscle Synthesize protein Cell division (to make new cell) Grow Enable active transport to take place Allow nerve impulse to be generated Maintain a constant internal body temperature
Aerobic respiration word equation
Glucose oxygen —> carbon dioxide + water + energu(ATP)
Anaerobic respiration word equation
Glucose —> lactic acid + energy (ATP)

Alveoli adaptation
Many Alveoli in lungs —> to provide large surface area Thin walls/ one cell thick of the epithelium in sleeve oil —> provide short distance for diffusion Thin wall/ one cell thick of epithelium in capillaries—> provide short distance for diffusion Blood supply and good ventilation —> to maintain high concentration gradient Moist surface - gas is dissolved and diffuse more easily
What is oxygen debt
Is the extra oxygen taken in during rapid breathing after exercise used to oxidise toxic lactic acid removing it from the body
What happens during exercise
During exercise the breathing rate will increase and the heart will start to beat faster, allowing more oxygen and Lacoste to reach the muscle cell. This allows more aerobic respiration to take place and more carbon dioxide can be removed from the muscle cell During exercise the body may also break down glycogen stores in the liver and muscle to release more glucose If the intensity of excersise continues to increase then cells may not receive enough oxygen from the circulation system when this happens will start to use anaerobic respiration in addition to aerobic respiration. This produce lactic acid which can build up in muslce causing pain and tiredness After excerise the breathing rate may still remain high. Extra oxygen taken in during this period to replenish the oxygen debt to remove any toxic lactic acid from the body
