Fermentation

A

An aerobic process that allows the production of a small amount of ATP without oxygen and glycolysis to continue when oxygen is unavailable (doesn’t produce ATP)

Q

What are the two types of fermentation?

A

Lactic acid and alcohol fermentation

17
Q

Lactic acid

A

In muscle cells energy converts pyro ate into lactic acid causing sore muscles

18
Q

Alcoholic fermentation

A

Energy uses split pyruvate into an alcohol and carbon dioxide

19
Q

What can lactic acid fermentation be used for?

A

Sore muscles and yogurt and cheese

20
Q

What can alcoholic fermentation be used for?

A

Alcohol and yeast in bread

21
Q

Cellular respiration

A

Converts sugar into ATP using oxygen in the mitochondria

22
Q

Steps of cellular respiration

A

Glycolysis
Fermentation (no O2) or Kreb’s cycle (O2)
Glycolysis (no O2) or electron transport chain (O2)

23
Q

Glycolysis

A

Anaerobic process in the cytoplasm that splits glucose into two molecules of pyruvate producing 4 ATP after use of 2 ATP (2 ATP total)

24
Q

Kreb’s cycle

A

Transfers energy to electron transport chain in the matrix of the mitochondria making 6CO2 and 2 ATP

25
Q

Electron transport chain

A

Produces large amounts of ATP in the inner membrane of the mitochondria uses 6 oxygen and Kreb’s cycle energy and produces 32-34 ATP and 6H2O

26
Q

Cellular respiration equation

A

C6H126O2+6O2——–>6CO2+6H2O+ATP
