respiration Flashcards
1
Q
equation for aerobic respiration
A
glucose+oxygen— carbon dioxide+water+ATP
2
Q
equation for anaerobic respiration
A
glucose—– lactic acid+ ATP
3
Q
does anaerobic respiration produce little or a lot of energy and why
A
anaerobic energy produces little energy as oxygen is not used, and ( fro animals) lactic acid is produced as a waste product
4
Q
glucose is completely broken down in
A
aerobic respiration
5
Q
lots of energy is released in
A
aerobic respiration
6
Q
ATP is produced in the
A
mitochondria
7
Q
what is ATP used for
A
packaging the energy into smaller amounts to be used for cellular processes without much waste
8
Q
similarities (2)
A
- both have glucose as a reactant
- both produce ATP as product
9
Q
differences
A
- aerobic needs oxygen
- aerobic produces water and carbon dioxide while anaerobic produces lactic acid.
10
Q
what are the 2 problems with anaerobic
A
- produces much less energy from glucose compared to aerobic
- lactic acid is a toxic waste product
11
Q
how do you get rid of lactic acid
A
with oxygen
Lactic acid + oxygen ——- CO2 + H20
