Q

Anaerobic respiration involves the incomplete breakdown of glucose, and so releases, what?

A

a relatively small amount of energy for use in cell processes

Different breakdown products are formed depending on the type of organism that the anaerobic respiration is taking place in

16
Q

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals

A

Glucose -> Lactic Acid

17
Q

What is the chemical equation for anaerobic respiration in animals

A

C6H12O6 -> 2C3H6O3

18
Q

What does lactic acid do?

A

Lactic acid builds up in muscle cells and lowers the pH of the muscle tissue (making the conditions more acidic)

19
Q

What can acidic conditions do to enzymes in cells?

A

Acidic conditions can denature the enzymes in cells

20
Q

What will eventually happen to Lactic Acid

A

Lactic acid will eventually be broken down using oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water as waste products

21
Q

The amount of oxygen required to break down the lactic acid that has built up is referred to as, what?

A

oxygen debt

22
Q

The process of breaking down the lactic acid is known as, what?

A

repaying the oxygen debt

23
Q

Plants and yeast can respire without, what?

A

oxygen

24
Q

In the absence of oxygen what do Plants and Yeast do?

A

breaking down glucose in the absence of oxygen to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide

25
Q

Anaerobic respiration in yeast cells is called, what?

A

fermentation

26
Q

Fermentation is economically important in the manufacture of, what?

A

bread (where the carbon dioxide produced helps the dough to rise) and in brewing (where the ethanol produced makes beer)

27
Q

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast

A

Glucose -> Alcohol + Carbon Dioxide

28
Q

What is the chemical equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast

A

C6H12O6 -> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

29
Q

(Comparing Aerobic & Anaerobic) Oxygen

A
