Q

This is the process that follows glycolysis if O2 is NOT available.

15
Q

These are the 2 types of fermentation.

A

Alcoholic Fermentation

Lactic Acid Fermentation

16
Q

This is the purpose (or benefit) of Fermentation.

A

The purpose of fermentation is to provide NAD+ so glycolysis can continue making a little bit of ATP to get you by until O2 is available.

17
Q

These are the type of organisms that carry out Alcoholic Fermentation.

A

Yeast and a few other microorganisms

18
Q

These are the REACTANTS of fermentation.

A

NADH and Pyruvate

19
Q

Humans do this type of fermentation.

A

Lactic Acid Fermentation

20
Q

These are the THREE products of alcohol fermentation.

A

NAD+
CO2
ethyl alcohol

21
Q

These are the 2 products of lactic acid fermentation.

A

NAD+

Lactic Acid

22
Q

True or False: Aerobic respiration begins with glycolysis.

A

True. It starts with glycolysis in the cytoplasm and if O2 is available, it completes the process in the mitochondria.

23
Q

What are the 3 steps of AEROBIC respiration, following glycolysis?

A

Aerobic respiration includes Converting Pyruvate, Krebs Cycle, and ETC.

24
Q

If oxygen IS available after glycolysis, what pathway do the products take?

A

Pyruvate & NADH enter the aerobic pathway if oxygen IS available.

25
Q

Where do the 3 processes of Aerobic respiration occur in the cell?

A

Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

26
Q

What is the purpose (or benefit) of aerobic respiration?

A

Aerobic respiration makes LOTS of ATP!
