What energy transformation takes place wjen you exercise

Question

I want to figure this out but I can't Plz help

 

Answer 1

Hi Abi from Pierson, IA...hope you had a great day at school.

Thanks for connecting with Wyzant...I am here to help.

I guess your question comes from Biology...correct?

Let me give you some hints...bullet points, then it will be up to you to develop your own response. I'm presuming you are talking about biologic respiration...that is a word...a concept you should know and understand.

When you ask: What energy transformation takes place wjen[when] you exercise...I am also presuming you are asking about when a human expends energy of some sort, correct? So here is what you need to consider in answering your question:

• When a human body uses energy, there are 2 basic types of energy utilization, one where there is oxygen present[aerobic] respiration and the other when there is little or not oxygen present[anaerobic] respiration. Remember these 2 words?
• Respiration requires certain molecules to produce energy. 
• The fuel for energy production is a carbohydrate, a specific kind of sugar, glucose. Remember that?
• Using glucose requires the body to break down the glucose. The process is called glycolysis(remember the suffix -lysis relates to breaking down or what apart) Glucose has 6 carbon atoms and to through glycolysis, it produces 2 3-carbon molecules.
• Glycolysis occurs in different cells, some in the RNA and some in the Mitochondria...

Okay...Abi...there are some hints for you to pick up on. It is not the entire answer, that is for you to pick up from your textbook or teacher's lesson.

Let me know if need further help.
