Breathing and Exercise

Front

Breathing rate during exercise

Back

We breathe faster during exercise to increase oxygen intake and remove carbon dioxide more efficiently, meeting the higher energy demands of our muscles.

Front

Cellular Respiration

Back

The process of breaking down food to produce ATP, occurring in the mitochondria using oxygen. Glucose is gradually digested and broken down into carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Chemical Equation for Cellular Respiration

Back

Glucose + Oxygen \rightarrow Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)

Front

Mitochondrion

Back

Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration, where glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.
