Two types of Respiration
Aerobic
,
Anaerobic
Aerobic
Respiration breaks down food molecules using oxygen and releases large amounts of energy
Respiration
is the
oxidation
of food substances to release and produce ATP molecules
Chemical reaction of Aerobic Respiration
Glucose
+
Oxygen
➜
Carbon Dioxide
+
Water
+ Large amount of
energy
Anaerobic
Respiration is the break down of food substances
without
oxygen and releases a small amount of energy
Aerobic
Respiration is common in
multicellular
organisms
Anaerobic
Respiration is common in
unicellular
organisms
Anaerobic
Respiration has one common pathway:
Fermentation
Two types of Fermentation:
Lactic
,
Alcoholic
Chemical reaction of Lactic Fermentation
Glucose
➜
Lactose
+ Small amount of energy (
2
ATP)
In
Lactic
Fermentation,
NADH
transports e- directly to
pyruvate
to generate
lactate
Muscle cells and RBC undergoes
lactic
fermentation but it is considered
inefficient
for muscle cells
We experience muscle soreness because of the accumulation of lactic acid
False
We experience muscle soreness because of microscopic trauma
True
Lactobacillus
is the bacteria in yogurt
Lactobacillus undergoes
lactic
fermentation
In
Alcoholic
Fermentation, the
glucose
is converted into
ethanol
and
carbon dioxide
Chemical reaction of Alcoholic Fermentation
Glucose
➜
Ethanol
+
Carbon Dioxide
, Small amount of energy (
2
ATP)
In
Alcoholic
Fermentation,
pyruvate
releases
carboxyl
group to be
acetaldehyde
and will receive
2 NADH
e- to produce
ethanol
