Anaerobic repsiration Flashcards
Example of animal tissue that may undergo anaerobic respiration
Muscle tissue
In absence of o2 only glycolysis happens
Why
Cos no o2 to act as final electron acceptor in etc
Net atp in anaerobic
2 cos only glycolysis happens
How do you get energy atp in anaerobic
From glycolysis again and again 2 net atp
Describe anaerobic how it happens in animal cells
In animal cells pyruvate becomes reduced accepting the hydrogen from reduced NAD to form lactateand oxidised NAD.
This reaction is Catalysed by lactate dehydrogenase
Describe anaerobic how it happens in yeast and higher plant cells
First explain the extra step that makes pyruvate to ethanal
All steps same first
Then after pyruvate is made- co2removed - enzyme ethanal dehydrogenase
Ethanal becomes reduced Accepting H from redNAD to form ethanol.
