Aerobic And Anaerobic Respiration Flashcards
What is aerobic respiration ? 
Aerobic respiration is a type of respiration which occurs in the presence of oxygen
What is the formula for aerobic respiration ? 
Glucose + oxygen — carbon dioxide + water
The — was a arrow
Where does respiration occur ? 
In the mitochondria
What is the formula for photosynthesis ? 
Carbon dioxide + water — glucose + oxygen
The — means the arrow
Why do plants need energy ? 
Plants need energy to carry out all living processes such as growth , repair, reproduction and absorbing nutrients
What are the three important structures inside a mitochondria ?
Outer membrane: Small molecules can pass freely through the outer membrane.
Inner membrane: This membrane holds proteins that have several roles. …
Cristae: These are the folds of the inner membrane
What is a mitrochondrial disease ? 
It is a genetic condition caused by a fault in inherited material ( mitochondria ). When mitochondria in cells are not producing enough.
What is anaerobic respiration ? 
It is a type of respiration which occurs in the lack of oxygen
What is the formula for anaerobic respiration ? 
Glucose — lactic acid + energy
The — means an arrow
Why does anaerobic respiration form lactic acid ?
 The body cannot supply the cells with the oxygen needed to break down glucose
What is the fermentation formula in plant/microbes ? 
Glucose —> carbon dioxide + ethanol
What happens during fermentation ? 
The anaerobic respiration in yeast cells convert glucose into ethanol
Does aerobic respiration produce more or less energy than anaerobic respiration ? 
More

Anaerobic respiration
Which type of respiration produces ATP energy
Both
