Respiration

• What is excess glucose stored as in the body?

  Glycogen
• State the products of anaerobic respiration

  Anaerobic respiration occurs without sufficient oxygen. So the only product of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid.
• What are the products of aerobic respiration?

  Carbon dioxide and water are the products of aerobic respiration which occurs in the presence of oxygen
• Aerobic respiration


  1. Glucose and oxygen

  2. Complete oxidation/breakdown of glucose

  3. Transfers a high amount of energy per glucose molecule

  4. Products are CO₂ and water
• Anaerobic respiration


  1. Only glucose (no oxygen)

  2. Incomplete oxidation/breakdown of glucose

  3. Transfers less energy

  4. Products are ethanol and CO₂ in plants/yeasts, lactic acid in animals
• Aerobic respiration


  Occurs in all cells
• Anaerobic respiration


  Occurs in all cells
• The processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration are compared
