  • AEROBIC RESPIRATION?
    REQUIRES: O2
    PRODUCES: CO2, H2O, lots of ATP
  • ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION?
    REQUIRES: low O2
    PRODUCES: lactate (animals)/ ethanol and CO2 (plants) and a little ATP in both
  • WHAT ARE THE STAGES OF AEROBIC RESPIRATION?
    1. Glycolysis
    2. Link reaction
    3. Krebs Cycle
    4. Oxidative Phosphorylation
  • WHAT ARE THE STAGES OF ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION?
    1. Glycolysis
    2. Fermentation
  • WHAT IS GLYCOLYSIS?
    splitting of 6C glucose molecule into two 3C pyruvate molecules
  • WHAT IS THE LINK REACTION?
    3C pyruvate enters series of reaction producing acetylcoenzyme A (2C)
  • WHAT IS THE KREBS CYCLE?
    introduction of acetylcoenzyme A into a cycle of oxidation-reduction reactions
    -> yield some ATP and lots of reduced NAD and FAD
  • WHAT IS THE OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION STAGE?
    use of electrons (associated with reduced NAD and FAD) to synthesise ATP also producing water
