Chapter 7: Anaerobic Cellular Respiration in Eukaryotes (Fermentation)

Question 1

anaerobic cellular respiration in eukaryotes is ______

Answer 1

the breakdown of carbohydrates that yields organic products such as alcohol and lactic acid

Question 2

the 2 types of fermentation are ______ and ______

Answer 2

1. alcohol fermentation in yeast (and some bacteria)
2. lactic acid fermentation (in muscle)

Question 3

an example of alcohol fermentation is ________

Answer 3

NADH produced by glycolysis is oxidized, losing protons and electrons. as a result, acetaldehyde is reduced, producing ethanol

Question 4

an example of lactic acid fermentation is _________

Answer 4

NADH is oxidized, losing electrons and protons. as a result, pyruvate is reduced, producing lactate

Question 5

fermentation yields ____ ATP from ______

Answer 5

2, substrate level phosphorylation in glycolysis

Question 6

the final electron acceptor in anaerobic cellular respiration of eukaryotes is _______

Answer 6

inorganic compounds
