  • respiration is the enzyme controlled process of releasing energy from food
  • respiration - catabolic reaction
  • ADP - energy carrier
  • ATP - picks up energy
  • NADP+ - To pick up/drop e and h
  • NADPH - e and h carrier
  • areobic respiration is the enzyme controlled release of energy from food using oxygen
  • anaerobic respiration is the controlled release of energy from food without the use of oxygen
  • anaerobic respiration can also be called fermentation
  • anaerobic - occurs only in the cytosol
  • lactic acid fermentation occurs in some bacteria and fungus and in mammal muscle when it is short of oxygen
  • alcohol fermentation - Glucose - 2 ethanol + 2 CO2 + small amounts of energy
  • The use of enzyme-controlled reactions to make a produce is known as bioprocessing
