What is anaerobic respiration?
A way cells make energy without oxygen
When does anaerobic respiration occur?
When there isn't enough oxygen available
What are the two main types of anaerobic respiration?
Lactic Acid Fermentation and Alcoholic Fermentation
In which part of the body does Lactic Acid Fermentation occur?
In muscles
What is Lactic Acid Fermentation and where does it occur?
Occurs in muscles during low oxygen
Also used by bacteria in yogurt and cheese
What is Alcoholic Fermentation and where is it carried out?
Carried out by yeast
Used in bread and beer making
Why do muscles undergo Lactic Acid Fermentation?
Due to insufficient oxygen during exercise
How does the efficiency of anaerobic respiration compare to aerobic respiration?
It is less efficient than aerobic respiration
What is the main advantage of anaerobic respiration?
It allows energy production without oxygen
What happens to lactic acid after resting and getting enough oxygen?
It is converted back to glucose in the liver.
What causes the burning feeling in muscles during tough workouts?
Accumulation of lactic acid in muscles
In what processes is alcoholic fermentation used?
Bread making: Carbon dioxide makes bread rise
Beer production: Ethanol is the alcohol in beer
Which organism is primarily responsible for Alcoholic Fermentation?
Yeast
How does alcoholic fermentation begin?
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate
What does lactic acid fermentation produce?
Lactic acid and a small amount of ATP
How do the products of lactic acid fermentation differ from those of alcoholic fermentation?
Lactic acid produces lactic acid, while alcoholic produces ethanol
What enzyme is involved in converting pyruvate during fermentation?
Pyruvate decarboxylase
What is anaerobic respiration?
Respiration without oxygen
What products are produced by lactic acid fermentation in bacteria?
Yogurt and cheese
Which type of fermentation do certain bacteria use?
Lactic acid fermentation
What is the purpose of alcoholic fermentation in yeast?
To make bread rise and brew beer
What is lactic acid fermentation?
It occurs when muscles lack oxygen.
Which organism uses alcoholic fermentation?
Yeast
What is produced as a result of alcoholic fermentation?
Energy, ethanol, and carbon dioxide
Where is lactic acid converted back to glucose?
In the liver
What is the significance of lactic acid fermentation in muscle activity?
It allows energy production when oxygen is low
How much ATP does anaerobic respiration generate compared to aerobic respiration?
Less ATP than aerobic respiration
What is one industrial application of anaerobic respiration?
Alcoholic fermentation by yeast
How does anaerobic respiration benefit yeast in baking?
It produces carbon dioxide to make bread rise
What is the role of glucose in lactic acid fermentation?
It is broken down into pyruvate.
How are ethanol and carbon dioxide used in food production?
In bread and beer making
How do muscles utilize anaerobic respiration during workouts?
They produce energy quickly when oxygen is limited
When do our muscles switch to lactic acid fermentation?
During intense workouts when oxygen is scarce
What does alcoholic fermentation produce?
Ethanol, carbon dioxide, and a small amount of ATP
How does the energy produced in lactic acid fermentation compare to aerobic respiration?
It produces less energy than aerobic respiration.
What is alcoholic fermentation?
A type of anaerobic respiration by yeast
What are the steps of lactic acid fermentation?
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate without oxygen.
Pyruvate is converted into lactic acid by lactate dehydrogenase.
Energy is produced, less than aerobic respiration.
What are the types of fermentation in anaerobic respiration?
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Alcoholic Fermentation
Why is anaerobic respiration essential in biological processes?
It enables energy production without oxygen
What enzyme helps convert pyruvate into lactic acid?
Lactate dehydrogenase
