Aerobic & Anaerobic respiration

• What is cellular respiration?

  Cellular respiration is a vital process that occurs in all living cells continuously.
• Why is cellular respiration important for organisms?

  It transfers energy from food to organisms, providing energy for movement, warmth, and chemical reactions.
• What do organisms require the energy from cellular respiration for?

  To build larger molecules from smaller ones.
• What type of chemical reaction is respiration?

  Respiration is an exothermic chemical reaction, meaning it releases energy.
• What are the two types of cellular respiration?

  Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.
• When does aerobic respiration occur?

  Aerobic respiration occurs with oxygen.
• What happens during anaerobic respiration?

  Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen.
• How do cells choose between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

  Cells choose based on the availability of oxygen.
• What is the process of aerobic respiration?

  Aerobic respiration involves the conversion of glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.
• Where does aerobic respiration occur in the cell?

  Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
• What are the products of aerobic respiration?

  The products are energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
• What is the chemical equation for aerobic respiration?

  The chemical equation is: $C_6H_{12}O_6 +$$6O_2 \rightarrow 6CO_2 +$$6H_2O$.
• What happens to glucose during aerobic respiration?

  Glucose is completely oxidized, releasing all the energy stored in it.
• When do cells resort to anaerobic respiration?

  Cells resort to anaerobic respiration when there is insufficient oxygen available.
• What is produced in muscles during anaerobic respiration?

  In muscles, glucose is converted into lactic acid.
• What do yeast cells undergo as a form of anaerobic respiration?

  Yeast cells undergo fermentation.
• Why is fermentation important in bread-making?

  Fermentation is crucial because CO2 gas causes the dough to rise.
• What does fermentation provide in the production of alcoholic beverages?

  Fermentation provides alcohol (ethanol) and fizz (CO2) in the drinks.
