Module 2 Assignment – SBI4U-TK
Purpose: To observe the power of aerobic exercise compared to the power of anaerobic exercise, and how much glucose does exercise consume.
Predictions:
(a) Predict hoe many times more powerful aerobic exercise is than anaerobic exercise? = Triple
(b) Predict how many teaspoons of table sugar you will “burn” after exercising your arm to exhaustion. =5
Materials: 2.2 kg Dumbbell, Meter Stick
Procedure: Please refer to the Nelson Biology 12 textbook page 128.
Observations: (questions from Nelson Biology 12 Textbook, page 129)
(c) Dumbbell mass= 2.2kg
(d) Vertical distance dumbbell moves= 9.5 inches
(e) Time elapsed by the end of Stage 1= 43 seconds = Stage 1 total time
(f) Number of lifts in Stage 1 = 20 …show more content…
Explain you answer using the concepts of cellular respiration in this chapter. Yes. After working my body and using oxygen to create energy (because oxygen is needed to break down the glucose), I started to feel hot because of the oxygen being used to convert this glucose into energy/also my body using different chemicals to get enough energy.
(v) Could you tell when most of your muscles went into anaerobic respiration? What evidence was there for this? Yes, when my muscles started to feel tight ad had a burning sensation I knew it was anaerobic respiration because it was harder to move my arm/it took more effort. This is the lactic acid breaking down glucose. (glucose to energy)
Evaluation: (From Nelson Biology 12 Textbook page 130)
(w) How many times more powerful were you during aerobic exercise than during anaerobic exercise? How did this compare with your predictions? I was 2 times more powerful during aerobic exercise. This doesn’t quite math my predictions, but it comes quite
