Q

What is the function of aerobic respiration?

A

2 pyruvate go into the mitochondria, CO2 & 2 ATP are produced during the Krebs cycle. Products from the bonds are broken during a series of events to produce up to 34 ATP and H2O

Q

What happens in anaerobic respiration with plants?

A
  • fermentation (alcohol is fermed)
  • produces alcohol from pyruvate in the cytoplasm
  • no more ATP is formed
