Study Notes
Anaerobic Respiration
- Incomplete breakdown of glucose in anaerobic respiration results in formation of lactic acid
Muscle Cramps
- Muscle cramps during vigorous muscular activities are caused by accumulation of lactic acid in muscle cells
- Lactic acid is a byproduct of incomplete breakdown of glucose in anaerobic respiration
Massage Therapy
- Massage with warm oil helps relieve muscle cramps by increasing blood flow to the affected area
- Increased blood flow helps to remove lactic acid and other waste products from muscle cells
Energy Source and Storage
- The main source of energy used in respiration is glucose
- Energy released during oxidation of food is stored in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
Aerobic Respiration
- End products of aerobic respiration include carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
- Complete oxidation of glucose takes place in the mitochondria during aerobic respiration
Test your knowledge about the biochemical process of respiration and the production of ATP. Understand how glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen and how energy is stored in cells as ATP molecules.
