What is the name for a different version of anaerobic respiration that takes place in microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and fungi?
Fermentation
What is the word equation for fermentation?

Yeast undergoes ………. when bread and beer is made.
fermentation
What happens to the ethanol produced when bread is baked?
When bread is baked, the ethanol evaporated because of the heat. This is why the bread is not actually alcoholic.
When does anaerobic respiration take place in humans and why?
During energy-using activities our body cells may not have enough oxygen for aerobic respiration to take place so anaerobic respiration takes place instead.
What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in humans?
glucose -> lactic acid
What can a build of lactic acid in muscles cause?
- pain & tiredness
- this leads to cramps
