Anaerobic respiration requires oxygen.
False
What are the key differences between anaerobic and aerobic respiration?
Oxygen, energy, products
Anaerobic respiration produces 36-38 ATP.
False
The main product of anaerobic respiration in animals is
lactic
acid.
Match the type of respiration with its oxygen requirement:
Anaerobic Respiration ↔️ No oxygen required
Aerobic Respiration ↔️ Oxygen required
Ethanol is produced in animal anaerobic respiration.
False
What is produced in muscles during anaerobic respiration?
Lactic acid
The buildup of lactic acid in muscles can lead to fatigue and
soreness
.
Anaerobic respiration requires oxygen
False
The main product of anaerobic respiration in muscles is
lactic acid
Anaerobic respiration yields significantly less energy than
aerobic
Which enzyme converts pyruvic acid to lactic acid in animal muscles?
Lactate dehydrogenase
Match the fermentation type with its enzyme and end product:
Lactic Acid ↔️ Lactate dehydrogenase ||| Lactic acid
Ethanol ↔️ Pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase ||| Ethanol + CO2
What is the energy yield of anaerobic respiration?
2 ATP
Anaerobic respiration is more efficient than aerobic respiration.
False
The main product of anaerobic respiration in animals is lactic
acid
What is the primary product of anaerobic respiration in muscles?
Lactic acid
Pyruvic acid is formed during glycolysis.
True
In yeast, pyruvic acid is converted to ethanol and carbon
dioxide
Match the fermentation type with its end products:
Lactic Acid ↔️ Lactic acid
Alcoholic ↔️ Ethanol + CO2
Lactic acid fermentation yields 2
ATP
molecules.
True
Alcoholic fermentation occurs in yeast and some
microorganisms
.
True
Steps of alcoholic fermentation:
1️⃣ Pyruvic acid is decarboxylated by pyruvate decarboxylase
2️⃣ Acetaldehyde is produced
3️⃣ Acetaldehyde is reduced to ethanol by alcohol dehydrogenase
The main end products of anaerobic respiration are lactic acid and
ethanol
Anaerobic respiration is a metabolic process that produces energy without the use of
oxygen
Aerobic
respiration
requires oxygen to produce energy.
True
What are the end products of aerobic respiration?
Carbon dioxide and water
Anaerobic respiration does not require
oxygen
What are the products of anaerobic respiration in animal muscles?
Lactic acid
Steps of anaerobic respiration in muscles during oxygen limitation:
1️⃣ Glucose is converted to pyruvic acid
2️⃣ Pyruvic acid is transformed into lactic acid
3️⃣ 2 ATP molecules are produced
What are the products of aerobic respiration in muscles?
Carbon dioxide and water
What are the products of pyruvic acid conversion in yeast and some microorganisms during anaerobic respiration?
Ethanol and carbon dioxide
In which organisms does alcoholic fermentation occur?
Yeast and microorganisms
Both lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation produce 2 ATP molecules.
True
Anaerobic respiration generates significantly more ATP than aerobic respiration.
False
How does the energy yield of anaerobic respiration compare to that of aerobic respiration?
Lower energy yield
What is anaerobic respiration?
Energy production without oxygen
Anaerobic respiration is a metabolic process that produces energy without the use of
oxygen
Anaerobic respiration does not require
oxygen
What are the products of anaerobic respiration in animals?
Lactic acid
