Q

Why is less ATP produced without Oxygen?

A
  • oxygen is final e- acceptor
  • w/o oxygen, ONLY glycolysis can occur, - no Oxidative phosphorylation
  • only produces net 2 ATP

Q

What are 2 differences between anaerobic respiration in yeast and animals?

A
  • CO2 produced in yeast, no CO2 produced in animals
  • ethanol produced in yeast, lactate produced in animals

Q

Explain why converting pyruvate to lactate allows the continued production of ATP by anaerobic respiration…

A
  • produces NAD/ oxidises NADH
  • so glycolysis continues
