Question

Which is larger- Your body surface area or alveolar surface area? Give reason for your

answer?

2. Give a reason why lungs always contain residual volume of air?

3. Give the equation for:

a) Aerobic respiration

b) Anaerobic respiration

c) Anaerobic respiration in muscles cells

Answer 1

Answer 1) Alveolar surface area is larger than the body surface area because by science says that alveolar surface area in our body is equal to the surface area of a large swimming pool . It folds in body in one by one layer.
3) Equation for
AEROBIC RESPIRATION
Glucose( 1 molecules ) _______[ Glycolysis( in cytoplam ) ] > Pyruvate ( 2 molecules ) ________[ Oxygen ( in mitochondria ) ] > 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy ( 38 ATP )
ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION
Glucose( 1 molecules ) _______[ Glycolysis( in cytoplam ) ] > Pyruvate ( 2 molecules ) ________[ No O2 required ( in yeast ) ] > Ethanol +CO2 + Energy ( 2 ATP )
IN MUSCLE CELLS
Glucose( 1 molecules ) _______[ Glycolysis( in cytoplam ) ] > Pyruvate ( 2 molecules ) ________[ No O2 required ( in muscle cells ) ] > Lactic acid + Energy
answer 2 is left
Thanks for asking
