respiration - Coggle Diagram

- - - - exercise means our muscles require a higher demand for energy
      - when oxygen runs out, glucose is broken down without it, producing lactic acid.
      - glucose --> lactic acid
      - C6H12O6 --> 2C3H6O3
      - oxygen debt
        
        lactic acid builds up in muscle cells, lowering the pH of muscle tissues, which can denature the enzymes in cells.
        
        lactic acid is broken down using oxygen, with the amount of oxygen being known as 'oxygen debt'
    - - anaerobic respiration in yeast is called fermentation. when it is broken down to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide
      - glucose --> ethanol + carbon dioxide
      - C6H12O6 --> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
