what is Aerobic?
Using oxygen
what is Anaerobic ?
Not using oxygen
What is Oxidation?
A reaction with oxygen. In this case, food molecules like
glucose reacting with oxygen
What is Lactic acid
Chemical produced by the incomplete oxidation of glucose
(anaerobic respiration)
What is the balanced symbol equation for aerobic respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 →6CO2 + 6H2O
what is areobic respiration?
A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars). Also called aerobic metabolism, or cell respiration.
what is aneroebic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration releases much less energy than aerobic respiration. In yeast, we call the anaerobic respiration fermentation. This is a very useful process: for making bread (the CO2 makes it rise) and making alcoholic drinks (since ethanol is a type of alcohol).
what is the equation for anerobic respiration
glucose lactic acid
