·


respiration the chemical reaction that breaks down nutrient molecules in living cells to release energy

·
Mitochondria is not necessary for respiration to happen


·

energy is always present as an end product

·
uses of the produced energy

·
muscle contractions ·
cell division



growth
·

maintaining body temperature

·
protein synthesis
·


passing nerve impulses




·
aerobic respiration the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to release a large amount of energy

occurs in every living plant and animal cell

when there is a lack of oxygen delivered to the muscle cells , It will lead to oxygen debt

·

With a high level of lactic acid , It will cause fatigue and muscle ache


·
concentration of CO2 and lactic acid in tissues and blood increases and the blood pH decreases


· the intercostal muscles will be stimulated to contract harder and more often


· the hard and fast contraction leads to faster and deeper breathing

* the heart beats faster to get more O2 in the blood


* the blood cannot supply enough O2 to maintain aerobic respiration as muscle cells use up a lot of energy
