Anaerobic Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Where does anaerobic respiration occur?
A
cytoplasm
2
Q
What does anaerobic respiration produce in animals?
A
lactate/lactic acid
3
Q
what does anaerobic respiration produce in plants and microbes?
A
ethanol and CO2
4
Q
What is pyruvate reduced to form?
A
lactate
5
Q
Why is less ATP produced without Oxygen?
A
- oxygen is final e- acceptor
- w/o oxygen, ONLY glycolysis can occur, - no Oxidative phosphorylation
- only produces net 2 ATP
6
Q
What are 2 differences between anaerobic respiration in yeast and animals?
A
- CO2 produced in yeast, no CO2 produced in animals
- ethanol produced in yeast, lactate produced in animals
7
Q
Explain why converting pyruvate to lactate allows the continued production of ATP by anaerobic respiration…
A
- produces NAD/ oxidises NADH
- so glycolysis continues
