Q

Where do the substrates for cellular respiration come from?

A

Photosynthesis - food energy (glucose) comes from plants by taking in light energy from the sun which causes photosynthesis to occur which produces glucose.

Q

What happens with lactic acid fermentation?

A

Pyruvate is converted to lactic acid

17
Q

What happens with alcoholic fermentation?

A

Pyruvate is converted into ethanol

18
Q

How many ATP is produced with the 2 types of anaerobic respiration?

A

net gain of 2 ATP molecules

19
Q

What molecule is being broken down to produce CO2 during fermentation?

A

Glucose

20
Q

In lab 7 (Cellular Respiration), how did the fermentation rate of glucose, sucrose, and starch compare?

A

Glucose was the fastest, sucrose was the second fastest, and starch was the slowest.

21
Q

Cellular respiration is controlled by enzymes, so if you lowered the temperature would you expect a different rate of production? Would the difference be a lower rate or increased rate?

A

Yes, lower rate.
