B4.3 Flashcards
Where does aerobic respiration take place?
In animal and plant cells and some microorganisms
What does aerobic respiration require?
Oxygen
Aerobic respiration word equation
glucose + oxygen—> carbon dioxide+water (+ energy released)
Aerobic respiration symbol equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O
Where does anaerobic respiration take place?
In animal,plant and some microbial cells in conditions of low oxygen or absence of oxygen
Examples of where anaerobic respiration occurs
3
- plant roots in waterlogged soil
- bacteria in puncture wounds
- human cells during vigorous exercise
Anaerobic respiration in animal cells and some bacteria equation
glucose —> lactic acid (+ energy released)
Anaerobic respiration in plant cells and some micro organisms including yeast word equation
glucose —> ethanol + carbon dioxide (+ energy released)
Aerobic respiration releases more what than anaerobic respiration?
More energy per glucose molecule
Circular DNA-only in what cells?
Bacterial cells
Cell wall…only in what cells?
YEAST and bacterial
Mitochondria….only in what cells?
Animal and YEAST
How is fermentation used in bread production
The microorganism YEAST ferments the flour which contains glucose and releases carbon dioxide to make the bread rise
Describe how fermentation is used in the production of alcohol
The YEAST ferments the sugar to make ethanol - the sugar is in things such as grapes (wine) and barley (beer)
Describe how fermentation is used in biogas
Microorganisms ferment plant and animal waste which contains glucose
This produces mainly methane and carbon dioxide
