aerobic and anaerobic respiration Flashcards
what is aerobic respiration
respiration with the presence of oxygen. it is the most efficient way to transfer energy from glucose
where do most reactions in aerobic respiration happen
inside the mitochondria
what is the word equation for aerobic respiration
glucose + oxygen —-} carbon dioxide + water
what is the symbol equation for aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —-} 6CO2 + 6H2O
what is anaerobic respiration
respiration without the presence of oxygen. it is the incomplete breakdown of glucose, making lactic acid
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration
glucose —-} lactic acid
what is anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast
plants and yeast can respire without oxygen too, but they produce ethanol and carbon dioxide instead of lactic acid
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast cells
glucose —-} ethanol + carbon dioxide
what is anaerobic respiration in yeast cells called
fermentation
