Anaerobic respiration Flashcards
what happen to pyruvate in anaerobic respiration in animals
it is reduced into lactate
what provides hydrogen atoms for this reaction
NADH from glycolysis
which stage of glycolysis does the NAD get hydrogen from
the conversion of triose phosphate into pyruvate
how is anaerobic respiration different in plants than animals
it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide instead of lactate
what are the symptoms of too much lactate building up in the body
decrease the pH of the blood, can result in muscle pain and headaches
how do our bodies deal with their being too much lactate in the body
can be converted back into pyruvate which can then participate in anaerobic respiration again or can be converted into glycogen as a storage molecule
what happens to the ethanol produced in anaerobic respiration in plants
it is expelled as a waste product
hwo much ATP does anaerobic respiration make
2
where does anaerobic respiration take place
just in the cytoplasm
how do you calculate the respiratory quotient for anaerobic respiration
CO2 consumed/0
