Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration

    Cards (80)

    • How is respiration similar to burning fuel in a car?
      Both processes release energy to power movement
    • What is the initial stage of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
      • Both processes start with glycolysis
      • Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm
    • What is ATP in the context of cellular function?
      The energy currency of cells
    • What are the key steps in the aerobic respiration process?
      1. Glycolysis: Glucose broken down to pyruvate
      2. Pyruvate oxidation: Pyruvate enters mitochondria
      3. Citric acid cycle: Pyruvate further broken down
      4. Electron transport chain: ATP produced
      5. Oxidative phosphorylation: More ATP produced
    • What is the end product of anaerobic respiration in yeast?
      Ethanol and CO2
    • What are the two main types of cellular respiration?
      • Aerobic respiration
      • Anaerobic respiration
    • Where does aerobic respiration occur?
      Cytoplasm and mitochondria
    • What is the name of the process shown in the bottom left of the image?
      Glycolysis
    • How do aerobic and anaerobic respiration differ in terms of energy yield?
      • Aerobic respiration yields 38 ATP
      • Anaerobic respiration yields 2 ATP
    • What is the main purpose of respiration in cells?
      To release energy from glucose
    • Where does anaerobic respiration occur?
      Only in the cytoplasm
    • What is respiration?
      A chemical process to release energy
    • What type of respiration does not require oxygen?
      Anaerobic respiration

    • What type of combustion occurs in aerobic respiration?
      Complete
    • What is the energy yield of aerobic respiration?
      High (36 - 38 ATP)
    • How many ATP are produced in anaerobic respiration?
      2 ATP
    • What are the reactants for anaerobic respiration?
      Glucose
    • How is energy from glucose transformed during respiration?
      It is transformed into ATP
    • Where does aerobic respiration occur?
      Cytoplasm and mitochondrion
    • What are the inputs and outputs of the Krebs cycle?
      Inputs:
      • Pyruvate from glycolysis
      • CO2
      • H+ and electrons carried via NADH and FADH2

      Outputs:
      • 2 ATP
      • NADH and FADH2 for the electron transport chain
    • What are the stages of anaerobic respiration?
      Glycolysis, Fermentation
    • What is the name of the cycle shown in the image?
      Krebs cycle
    • What are the products of anaerobic respiration in animals?
      Lactic acid
    • How does the amount of ATP produced differ between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
      Aerobic respiration produces 36-38 ATP, while anaerobic respiration only produces 2 ATP
    • What are the products of anaerobic respiration in yeast?
      Ethanol + CO2
    • What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
      | Feature | Aerobic Respiration | Anaerobic Respiration |
      |---|---|---|
      | Oxygen needed? | Yes | No |
      | Products | CO2 + Water + 38 ATP | Lactic acid/alcohol + 2 ATP |
      | Efficiency | High | Low |
      | Location | Cytoplasm + Mitochondria | Cytoplasm only |
    • How does the Krebs cycle differ from glycolysis in terms of the energy produced?
      Glycolysis produces a net 2 ATP, while the Krebs cycle produces 2 ATP directly and also provides NADH and FADH2 for the electron transport chain to produce more ATP
    • What type of combustion occurs in anaerobic respiration?
      Incomplete
    • What is the end product of aerobic respiration?
      CO2 and H2O
    • How does the electron transport chain work to produce ATP?
      • Electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed through a series of electron carriers
      • This creates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane
      • The proton gradient drives ATP synthase to produce ATP
    • What are the stages of aerobic respiration?
      Glycolysis, Link reaction, Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain
    • What are the three stages of aerobic respiration?
      Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain
    • How does the energy yield of aerobic respiration compare to anaerobic respiration?
      Aerobic yields significantly more ATP
    • What is the end product of anaerobic respiration in animals?
      Lactic acid
    • What type of respiration requires oxygen?
      Aerobic respiration
    • What is the main difference in products between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
      Aerobic produces CO2 and water; anaerobic produces lactic acid/alcohol
    • What is produced during glycolysis in anaerobic respiration?
      2 ATP
    • How do aerobic and anaerobic respiration work together?
      They ensure energy is available for cellular needs
