Provide Evidence when Given a Claim:
Given Claim: Animals who burn primarily lipids (fats) need more oxygen to obtain chemical energy than an animal that primarily burns glucose (sugar).
Provide evidence: Why would this occur?
What do you know about Cellular Respiration's inputs and outputs?
How do the molecules compare? How do the balanced chemical equations compare?
Your evidence should include numbers.
Tips: think about how the molecules are different. (question 5)
Look at the difference between lipids (fats) and glucose (sugars) and the differences in the balanced chemical equations.
The equation for Cellular Respiration burning Glucose/Sugar is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 +6H2O + ATP
The equation for Cellular Respiration burning Lipids/fats is:
C16H32O2 + 23O2 --> 16CO2 + 16H2O + ATP
