Anaerobic and Aerobic Respiration Flashcards
What does Aerobic Respiration produce?
Carbon Dioxide and Water
What does Anaerobic Respiration produce?
Animals: Lactic Acid
Plants: Ethanol and Carbon Dioxide
How much energy does Aerobic Respiration produce?
Has high energy production, but the process takes much longer. (38 ATP from one glucose molecule)
How much energy does Anaerobic Respiration produce?
Has low energy production, but the process occurs much faster. (2 ATP from one glucose molecule)
Where does Aerobic Respiration occur?
Takes place in the cytoplasm and the mitochondria
Where does Anaerobic Respiration occur?
Takes place in the cytoplasm only
What is the word equation for Aerobic respiration?
Glucose + Water = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
What is the word equation for Anaerobic respiration?
Animal: Glucose = Lactic Acid + Energy
Plant: Glucose = Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide + Energy
What is the Process of Aerobic Respiration to produce H2O from Glucose?
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.
What is ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate, an energy carrying molecule.
What happens in Glycolysis?
Glucose (6 Carbons) is changed to pyruvate (3 Carbons)
Where does Glycolysis occur?
In the Cytoplasm
What does Glycolysis Produce?
Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide, 2 ATP (Occurs really quickly)
What happens in Acetyl Co-enzyme A Formation?
Pyruvate (3 Carbons) loses a carbon to become acetyl (2 Carbons)
Where does Acetyl Co-enzyme A Formation occur?
In the Cyctoplasm
What does Acetyl Co-enzyme A Formation produce
Acetyl (2 Carbons)
What happens in the Kreb’s Cycle?
Acetyl (2 Carbons) Joins with other carbon compounds in a cycle.
Where does Kreb’s cycle occur?
In the Matrix of the mitochondria
What does the Kreb’s cycle produce?
Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen, 2 ATP
What happens in the Electron Transport Chain?
Oxygen combines with hydrogens producing water.
Where does the Electron Transport Chain occur?
In the Cristae of the mitochondria
What does the Electron Transport Chain produce?
Water, 34 ATP
