Anaerobic Respiration

    Cards (6)

    • Differences in anaerobic respiration in animals and yeast cells include; yeast produces ethanol but animals produce lactic acid. Both produce less energy.
    • Lactic acid fermentation occurs when there isn't enough oxygen to complete aerobic respiration, so it produces less ATP than aerobic respiration.
    • Anaerobic respiration is the process by which cells produce energy without oxygen
    • ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, which is a molecule that is used to store energy in cells.
    • Breathing is a mechanical process of taking fresh air into the lungs and removing carbon dioxide from the lungs.
      Respiration is a chemical process which takes place in every cell to release energy from the simple sugars (e.g. glucose) by reacting the glucose with oxygen.
    • Glucose →Lactic acid and energy
