What is Fermentation?
is a partial degradation of sugars that occurs without O2
What does Aerobic respiration consume?
consumes organic molecules and O2 and yields ATP
How is AEROBIC Respiration different from Anerobic
consumes compounds other than O2
Cellular Respiration involves both
Anaerobic and Aerobic often used to refer to aerobic respiration
Chemical reactions that transfer electrons between reactants are called?
oxidation-reduction reactions, or redox reactions
What occurs in oxidation?
a substance loses electrons, or is oxidized
What happens in reduction?
a substance gains electrons, or is reduced (the amount of positive charge is reduced)
During cellular respiration, the fuel (such as glucose) is?
the fuel (such as glucose) is oxidized, and O2 is reduced:
