Anaerobic and Aerobic Respiration

Question 1

What does Aerobic Respiration produce?

Answer 1

Carbon Dioxide and Water

Question 2

What does Anaerobic Respiration produce?

Answer 2

Animals: Lactic Acid

Plants: Ethanol and Carbon Dioxide

Question 3

How much energy does Aerobic Respiration produce?

Answer 3

Has high energy production, but the process takes much longer. (38 ATP from one glucose molecule)

Question 4

How much energy does Anaerobic Respiration produce?

Answer 4

Has low energy production, but the process occurs much faster. (2 ATP from one glucose molecule)

Question 5

Where does Aerobic Respiration occur?

Answer 5

Takes place in the cytoplasm and the mitochondria

Question 6

Where does Anaerobic Respiration occur?

Answer 6

Takes place in the cytoplasm only

Question 7

What is the word equation for Aerobic respiration?

Answer 7

Glucose + Water = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy

Question 8

What is the word equation for Anaerobic respiration?

Answer 8

Animal: Glucose = Lactic Acid + Energy

Plant: Glucose = Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide + Energy

Question 9

What is the Process of Aerobic Respiration to produce H2O from Glucose?

Answer 9

First the Glucose undergoes Glycolysis, then goes through Acetyl Co-enzyme A Formation, then goes through the Kreb’s Cycle, then the Electron Transport Chain. Overall 38 ATP is produced from the one mole of glucose by aerobic respiration.

Question 10

What is ATP

Answer 10

Adenosine Triphosphate, an energy carrying molecule.

Question 11

What happens in Glycolysis?

Answer 11

Glucose (6 Carbons) is changed to pyruvate (3 Carbons)

Question 12

Where does Glycolysis occur?

Answer 12

In the Cytoplasm

Question 13

What does Glycolysis Produce?

Answer 13

Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide, 2 ATP (Occurs really quickly)

Question 14

What happens in Acetyl Co-enzyme A Formation?

Answer 14

Pyruvate (3 Carbons) loses a carbon to become acetyl (2 Carbons)

Question 15

Where does Acetyl Co-enzyme A Formation occur?

Answer 15

In the Cyctoplasm

Question 16

What does Acetyl Co-enzyme A Formation produce

Answer 16

Acetyl (2 Carbons)

Question 17

What happens in the Kreb’s Cycle?

Answer 17

Acetyl (2 Carbons) Joins with other carbon compounds in a cycle.

Question 18

Where does Kreb’s cycle occur?

Answer 18

In the Matrix of the mitochondria

Question 19

What does the Kreb’s cycle produce?

Answer 19

Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen, 2 ATP

Question 20

What happens in the Electron Transport Chain?

Answer 20

Oxygen combines with hydrogens producing water.

Question 21

Where does the Electron Transport Chain occur?

Answer 21

In the Cristae of the mitochondria

Question 22

What does the Electron Transport Chain produce?

Answer 22

Water, 34 ATP
