Q

Anerobic and Aerobic respiration

A

Anerobic- production of lactic acid from glucose, respiration that does not require oxygen
Aerobic respiration- respiration that requires oxygen, occurs in mitochondria

Q

Cellular respiration in the cell step 1 glycolosis

A

anerobic, in cytoplams
-1 glucose is converted into 2 pyruvate and 2nadh
-transported by active transport into mitochondria
pyruvate is oxidized and converted to 2 acetyl coa, carbon dioxide is released and 2nadh is produced

Q

Cellular respiration in the cell step 2 krebs cycle

A

aerobic, The 2 acetyl CoA enters the citric acid cycle/Krebs cycle
-carbon dioxide is released, 2 atp, 6 nadh and 2 fadh are produced
