anaerobic respiration Flashcards
1
Q
what are the two types of anaerobic respiration
A
alchohol fermentation
lacatate fermentation
2
Q
what occours in all forms of anaerobic respiration
A
- NADH is added to pyruvate from glycolysis
3
Q
describe the process of anaerobic respriation - alchol fermentation
A
- pyruvate decarboxylated to form ethanal
-NADH added to ethernal and is reduced froming ethenol
4
Q
describe the process of anaerobic repiration - latactae fermentation
A
- NADH added to pyruvate and oxidised producing LACTATE
5
Q
why is add ition of this NADH important
A
- addition of NADH allows products such as lactate and ethenol to be formed wich then regenerate NADH
- allows glycolysis to continue and small amounts of ATP formed despite little o2 avaliable
