Respiration releases energy from

food
Respiration usually releases
energy from protein
Aerobic respiration is more
efficient that anaerobic
respiration
Aerobic respiration requires
oxygen

Breathing
is a kind of
respiration

Use the words given to complete

Complete the following sentences by

circling the correct answer
During
exercise
our
muscles
need
more
ENERGY/WATER, which they get from O2/ATP to
enable them to keep contracting. This means they need a
continuous supply of PROTEIN/GLUCOSE and CO2/O2.
Extra O2 is obtained and the extra CO2/GLUCOSE is
removed, by increasing the
BREATHING RATE/RATE of DIGESTION.
The heart rate SLOWS DOWN/SPEEDS UP to supply
blood more QUICKLY/SLOWLY to the muscles.
Eventually the muscles become TIRED/ENERGISED,
particularly
when
energy
is
released
WITH
(AEROBIC)/WITHOUT (ANAEROBIC) oxygen.

Q. What product of anaerobic

respiration builds up in the
muscles during exercise?

A.
LACTIC
ACID!

Q. Why doesnt an athlete's

breathing rate return to normal
immediately after a race?

A. There is a build up of OXYGEN

DEPT. There is a lot of lactic acid build
up in the muscles, so the breathing
rate must be quick remain high to get
more OXYGEN to the muscles to break
down the lactic acid.

What is Respiration?

Respiration is a process that occurs in all

CELLS in your body!
your..........
RELEASING
................

It is the process of
from GLUCOSE
...............

ENERGY

1. Aerobic.
Requires Oxygen!
2.Anaerobic.
Does not require
Oxygen!

There are 2 types

of RESPIRATION
WHAT ARE THEY?

ATP is the ENERGY

CURRENCY of living
things.
ATP is a small molecule,
easily transported around
the cells. ATP carries
the ENERGY released
during RESPIRATION to
places where energy is
required.

What is
ATP?
