anaerobic respiration

• where does anaerobic respiration take place?


  cytoplasm
• can you describe anaerobic respiration in animals ?

  1. during glycolysis triose phosphate loses a H+ so is oxidised and produces NADH and pyruvate
  2. pyruvate then gains a H+ from NADH so pyruvate is reduced and NADH is oxidised to NAD
  3. lactate is produced
• what does anaerobic respiration produce in animals?

  lactate
• what does anaerobic respiration produce in plants and microorganisms ?

  enthanol ( 2carbon) and carbondioxide
• how many atps are produced during anaerobic respiration?

  2 because theyre only produced during glycolysis
• what happens when theres a build up of lactate?

  it lowers the PH of blood so causes muscle pain and headaches so is converted to glycogen or pyruvate
• what happens to ethanol?

  its expelled as a waste product
• compare the location of aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?

  • anaerobic respiration only takes place in the cytoplasm
  • aerobic respiration takes place in both the cytoplasm and mitochonria
• compare ATP yield in anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration?

  • in anaerobic respiration theres only a yeild of 2 ATP
  • however in aerobic respiration there can be a yeild of over 30 ATPs , its produced during glycolysis, krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation
