Q

What do animals produce during anaerobic respiration

21
Q

What is glucose broken down into

A

2 pyruvate, releasing a net 2 ATP

22
Q

What happens overall if there is oxygen after glycolysis

A

it can go and respire aerobically

23
Q

how many more ATP does aerobic respiration create altogether

24
Q

what happens after glycolysis if there is no oxygen

A

fermentation

25
fermentation in yeast and plants produces
CO2 and ethanol
26
fermentation in animal muscles produces
lactate
27
summarise lactic acid fermentation
Glucose - lactate + 2 ATP molecules
28
Summarise alcoholic fermentation
glucose - ethanol + carbon dioxide + 2ATP molecules
29
What is the net yield of ATP produced by anaerobic respiration in yeast?
2 ATP molecules
30
Why is there an increased yield of ATP in aerobic respiration
all four steps of cellular respiration are completed 6- carbon glucose is systematically and gradually broken down to 6CO2 molecules an each step converts energy
31
Where does aerobic respiration occur
in the cytoplasm and the mitochondria
32
Equation for aerobic respiration
Oxygen + glucose ------> carbon dioxide + water + energy C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 6H2O
33
What are the products of aerobic respiration
water and carbon dioxide
34
Which type of respiration produces the most energy?
aerobic
35
What is a respirometer
a simple apparatus that can measure the rate of respiration
36
What can we measure to indicate the respiration rate
the consumption of oxygen
37
what do you put in tube A of a respirometer
the organism/ germinating seed is positioned, tap si closed,
38
what happens in the respirometer
the organism respires, consuming O2 and producing CO2 and H2o
39
what absorbs the CO2
the alkaline solution at the bottom of tube A
40
What is in tube B of the respirometer
the control, no O2 or CO2, no living organism is present
41
What connects the two tubes in a respirometer
a capillary called a manometer
42
What will the reduction of oxygen in tube A cause
a reduction in pressure in tube A and will move the colored liquid in the manometer in the direction of Tube A, providing an indirect measurement of the oxygen consumed
43
What is the alkaline solution that absorbs CO2
potassium hydroxide
44
What do you put the respirometer in as a control
in a water bath to ensure the temperature does not affect the pressure
45
What is the role of an alkaline solution in the respirometer?
to absorbs carbon dioxide
46
Which process occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration?
glycolysis
47
What are inputs of aerobic respiration
oxygen and glucose
48
What type of molecule is glucose
organic molecule
