Study Notes

Aerobic Respiration

  • Word equation for aerobic respiration: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
  • Oxygen is sourced from the atmosphere.

Blood Oxygen Transport

  • Hemoglobin in red blood cells binds to oxygen in the lungs.
  • Oxygen is transported from the lungs to the body tissues where it is needed for cellular processes.

Waste Products of Aerobic Respiration

  • Waste products, such as carbon dioxide, must be excreted to prevent toxicity in the body.

Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Respiration

  • Aerobic respiration requires oxygen while anaerobic respiration occurs without it.

Anaerobic Respiration

  • Word equation for anaerobic respiration varies based on organism, commonly: Glucose → Lactic Acid + Energy.

Balanced Diet

  • A balanced diet for humans includes a variety of nutrients needed for health, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
  • Principal sources of carbohydrates include grains, fruits, and vegetables; they provide energy.
  • Dietary importance of proteins includes tissue repair and growth; found in meat, dairy, and legumes.
  • Malnutrition can lead to undernutrition or obesity, affecting overall health.

Nutritional Deficiencies

  • Vitamin D deficiency leads to weakened bones and potential developmental issues.
  • Effects of vitamin B deficiencies can include anemia and fatigue.

Digestion Process

  • Digestion is the breakdown of large molecules into smaller units: carbohydrates into simple sugars, fats into fatty acids and glycerol, proteins into amino acids.

Enzyme Secretion in Digestion

  • Amylase is secreted in the saliva and pancreas.
  • Protease is secreted in the stomach and pancreas.
  • Lipase is secreted in the pancreas.

Enzyme Action

  • Amylase breaks down starches into simple sugars.
  • Protease breaks down proteins into amino acids.
  • Lipase acts on fats, breaking them down into fatty acids and glycerol.
