aerobic & anaerobic respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Aerobic respiration
A
Word equation: Glucose + Oxygen—> Carbon dioxide + Water
symbol equation: C6H1206 + 6O2 –>6CO2 + 6H2O
2
Q
Anaerobic respiration/Fermentation in plants and yeasts
A
Word equation: Glucose –> Ethanol and Carbon Dioxide
3
Q
Anaerobic respiration/Lactic acid fermentation in animals
A
Word equation: Glucose –> Lactic acid
4
Q
Energy yielded comparison for each reaction:
A
- Aerobic respiration: 36 ATP per glucose
- Anaerobic respiration: 2 ATP per glucose
5
Q
Regulating reactions:
A
*Whenever you change one form of energy to another some energy is released as heat energy as a byproduct.
*These reactions are done through metabolic pathways to prevent them from occurring too quickly and releasing too much heat energy at once which could burn the cell.
