Flashcards

Anaerobic respiration

A type of respiration that occurs without oxygen and releases less energy than aerobic respiration.

Lactic acid

A product of anaerobic respiration that builds up in muscles and causes pain and fatigue.

EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption)

The period after intense exercise when deeper, faster breathing helps restore oxygen levels.

Oxygen debt

The amount of oxygen required to metabolize lactic acid after exercise, formally known as EPOC.

Study Notes

Cellular Anaerobic Respiration

Anaerobic respiration produces less energy than aerobic respiration.
It occurs faster than aerobic respiration.
The product of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid.
Lactic acid buildup in muscles causes pain, tiredness, and potentially cramps.

Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC)

Following strenuous exercise, people often breathe deeply and rapidly for a period.
This is EPOC (formerly called "oxygen debt").
During EPOC, oxygen is used to convert lactic acid into carbon dioxide and water.
This reaction releases the remaining energy from the glucose molecule.

Description

This quiz covers the essentials of cellular anaerobic respiration, including its energy production and the effects of lactic acid. It also explores Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) and its role in post-exercise recovery. Test your understanding of these important physiological concepts.
