Q
Products
Cellular respiration
A
CO2, H2O and Energy
3
Q
Cellular Respiration
A
Needs oxygen to occur
Produces massive amounts of ATP (~38 ATP)
Converts sugar (glucose) to ATP using oxygen to breakdown (Oxidize) compounds
4
Q
Energy Molecules
Cellular respiration
A
36 ATP
5
Q
Oeganisms
Cellular Respiration
A
Higher Organisms
6
Q
Fermentation
A
- Occurs during the absence of oxygen
- Used by yeast to create energy (ATP) when oxygen is not present, but it is not as efficient.
- Converts sugar to ATP with ethanol and CO2 as by-products
- Breakdown of compounds occurs through enzymes versus oxidation.
