Cards (7)

  • What do the products of anaerobic respiration contain?

    Contains stored chemical energy
  • How much energy is released in anaerobic respiration?

    Energy is usually absent or short in supply.
  • What happens as a result of oxidation if glucose being incompleted?

    Much less energy is transferred than in aerobic respiration
  • What is anaerobic respiration?

    When organisms can respire even when oxygen runs out
  • State the equation of anaerobic respiration when glucose is muscles is converted 

    Glucose -> Lactic acid + energy released
  • State the equation of anaerobic respiration when glucose in yeast cells are converted 

    Glucose -> ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy released
  • Where does anaerobic respiration occur in cells?

    The cytoplasm
