What is the maening of respiration?
it converts energy in food into a more usable form
Where is glucogen stored?
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
Give the biological significance of cell respiration?
Every cell in the body requires energy. It derives the energy by oxidation of sugars, fatty acids and proteins. Humans and animals have lungs and a circulatory system to deliver oxygen to every cell, as well as removing Carbon Dioxide and cellular waste.
How do cells acquire food energy?
Cells aquire food energy through a process called cellular respiration. This can be aerobic (with Oxygen as the final electron acceptor) or anaerobic (with some other organic molecule like pyruvate as the final electron acceptor). Aerobic respiration can be further broken down into the steps of 1. Glycolysis 2. Pyruvate Oxidation 3. Krebs Cycle 4. Electron Transport Chain It can also take place as photosynthesis but that is a slightly different mechanism Anaerobic Respiration can take place where there is no oxygen available(such as insidee muscles). This is called fermentation(yes the same kind we have to thank for alcohol...God bless anaerobic bacteria).
What is the relationship between your ability to do work with your muscles and anaerobic respiration?
ugh.
What does cellular respiration use and make?
Cellular respiration is a chemical reaction where glucose and oxygen are broken down into carbon dioxide, water and heat energy. This is the energy that our body's need to survive. This reaction takes place in a cell called the mitochondria, often found in muscles
What break down sugars to produce energy?
On a cellular level, it's broken down in the mitochondria. In terms of organs, liver and muscles store sugar in a form of glycogen until it's needed. Liver and muscles then convert glycogen into glucose.
Where do cardiac muscles produce ATP?
Cellular respiration
What is the name of substance that is the chemical bi-product of turning glucose into ATP and what does it do to your muscles?
Lactic acid. It lets your muscles function with a lack of oxygen (anaerobic respiration instead of aerobic respiration).
What is carbon dioxide produced from?
combustion and cellular respiration
How does the sun's energy get to the muscles of a human body?
The sun's energy is used by plants in photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates. Humans ingest carbohydrates when they eat foods that have fruits and vegetables in them. The body digests carbohydrates in the small intestine and then stores it in the muscles and liver until it is needed in form of glucose. The muscles then burn the glucose through a process of cellular respiration that uses an ATP molecule to release the energy and and provide work.
During a race how do your muscles produce ATP after the store of ATP in muscles is used?
muscle cells produce ATP by cellular respiration through fermentation
What organ does respiration occur in?
Virtually all oxygen using organisms have cellular respiration going on. C.R. is the breakdown of glucose using oxygen to release energy as ATP - so anything - plants, animals, single celled organisms - that take in oxygen and glucose are going to do CR. Organisms that can't tolerate oxygen or run out of oxygen (like your muscles during a strenuous workout) will do fermentation instead. Fermentation will get the job done but respiration releases much more energy per molecule of glucose.
What type of cellular respiration causes muscle contraction?
Aerobic cellular respiration produces energy for muscle contraction but this is not what causes the contractions. The binding properties between the proteins actin and myosin are what give muscles the ability to contract.
How does lactic acid fit into the process of cellular respiration?
This is not photosynthesis It is the byproduct that is made when you do aerobic work in your skeletal muscles
What are the sources of ATP for muscle fibers?
There are three sources that supply ATP for muscle metabolism - 1. Creatinine phosphate 2. Glycogen 3. Cellular respiration in the mitochondria of fibers Creatinine phosphate is the main source of ATP for muscle metabolism.
How does the glucose in respiration get transported to the muscle cells?
through these bunchy things that come out of the lungs. they are then carried around the body to the muscles.
