ATP yield anaerobic Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Does ethanol fermentation or lactate fermentation produce ATP?
A
- no but the formation of these substances allow glycolsis to continue for a short amount of time, forming the usual net of gain of 2 ATP per glucose
2
Q
How much yield does one molecule of gluocose respire?
A
- 32 ATP
3
Q
What is the benefit of anaerobic respiration?
A
- It allows respiration to occur for a short time in difficult conditions, allowing organisms to continue functioning.
