ASSESSMENT:
B2 REVISION – CHAPTER 4 – ENERGY FROM RESPIRATION
What is the formula for aerobic respiration?
A student pedalled an exercise cycle at constant speed for 5 minutes.
The student’s heart rate was recorded at one-minute intervals during the
exercise and also during recovery.
What is the role of
mitochondria in respiration?
Why do organisms respire?
Describe the effect exercise has on the heart:
What is anaerobic respiration?
A student‘s breathing was monitored before and after vigorous exercise.
The student breathed in and out through a special apparatus. The graphs
show the changes in the volume of air inside the apparatus. Each time the
student breathed in, the line on the graph dropped. Each time the
student breathed out, the line went up.
Describe the effect of exercise has on breathing:
How does it cause muscle fatigue?
What is oxygen debt?
KEY WORDS:
Aerobic respiration
Mitochondria
Glycogen
Anaerobic respiration
Oxygen debt
