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
