Aerobic And Anaerobic Resperation Flashcards
(50 cards)
What is aerobic respiration?
A process that requires oxygen to convert glucose into energy.
What is anaerobic respiration?
A process that occurs without oxygen to convert glucose into energy.
True or False: Aerobic respiration produces more energy than anaerobic respiration.
True
Fill in the blank: The main byproduct of aerobic respiration is _____ and water.
carbon dioxide
What is the chemical equation for aerobic respiration?
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
What is the chemical equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast?
Glucose → Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide + Energy
Multiple choice: Which of the following is a byproduct of anaerobic respiration in muscles? A) Oxygen B) Lactic Acid C) Carbon Dioxide
B) Lactic Acid
What type of organism primarily uses anaerobic respiration?
Certain bacteria and yeast.
True or False: Anaerobic respiration occurs in all living organisms.
False
What is the primary energy currency produced in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
Fill in the blank: The process of breaking down glucose in the absence of oxygen is called _____ respiration.
anaerobic
What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?
Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
Multiple choice: Which of the following processes occurs in the cytoplasm? A) Aerobic respiration B) Anaerobic respiration C) Both
C) Both
What is produced during anaerobic respiration in animal cells?
Lactic acid
True or False: Aerobic respiration can occur in the absence of oxygen.
False
Fill in the blank: In aerobic respiration, glucose is fully _____ to carbon dioxide and water.
oxidized
What happens to lactic acid produced during anaerobic respiration?
It can be converted back to glucose when oxygen is available.
Multiple choice: Which of the following is NOT a stage of aerobic respiration? A) Glycolysis B) Krebs Cycle C) Fermentation
