Q

What happens in stage one of aerobic respiration?

A
  1. Glucose in the cytoplasm of cells is broken down into two molecules of pyruvat
  2. releases enough energy to produce 2 molecules of ATP for every molecule of glucose that is broken down.
  3. breakdown of glucose is controlled by enzymes.
  4. oxygen isn’t required
17
Q

What happens in stage two?

A
  1. pyruvate molecule enters the mitochondria and is broken down whens theres oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
  2. Oxygen does not react directly with molecules of pyruvate
  3. If theres no oxygen only two ATP is made
18
Q

Why do nerve cells and muscle cells contain large amounts of mitochondria?

A

because they have a high energy demand therefore need to maximise atp production by aerobic respiration.

19
Q

Where does fermentation occur

A

In the cytoplasm

20
Q

If oxygen is not available to animal cells then pyruvate is converted into….

A

Lactate(lactic acid)

21
Q

If oxygen is not available in plant and yeast cells pyruvate is converted into…

A

Carbon dioxide and ethanol

22
Q

word equation for fermentation pathway in animal cell

A

Glucose(pyruvate)—>lactate +ATP

23
Q

word equation for fermentation pathway in plant and yeast cells.

A

Glucose(pyruvate)—>carbon dioxide+ethanol+ATP
