Animals

• Respiratory quotient

  • The volume of CO2 created for each O2 taken in
  • If the ratio is not 1, there is more anaerobic respiration taking place
• Glycoloysis stays the same
• Anaerobic respiration is reversible in the presence of oxygen
• Lactic acid formation

  • Reduced NAD produced during glycolysis passes its hydrogen to pyruvate, reducing it to lactate
  • NAD gets recycled
• Anaerobic respiration
