UNIT 5

Question 1

Explain the similarities and differences in anaerobic and aerobic cellular respiration

Answer 1

aerobic requires oxygen and anaerobic does not utilize oxygen
similarities: 3 max

both can start with glucose
both use glycolysis
both produce ATP/energy(heat)
both produce pyruvate
carbon dioxide is produced
(both start with glycolosis) aerobic leads to Krebs' cycle and anaerobic leads to fermentation
differences: 5 max

anaerobic:

(fermentation) produces lactic acid in humans
(fermentation) produces ethanol and CO2 in yeast
occurs in cytoplasm of the cell
recycles NADH (NAD+)
