- OUTPUTS: Lactic acid, ATP
anaerobic fermentation: plants
ALCOHOL FERMENTATION
- LOCATION: Cytosol
- INPUTS: Glucose
- OUTPUTS: Ethanol, CO2, ATP
Factors that affect cellular respiration: temperature
- cellular respiration rate is highest when temperature aligns with enzymes optimal temperature
Factors that affect cellular respiration: O2 concentration
- low O2 means the cells switches to anaerobic fermentation
- as O2 levels rise aerobic respiration increases
- plateaus
- increases O2 does not always increase rate
Factors that affect cellular respiration: glucose
- increased glucose increased rate
- decreased glucose decreased rate
- reached saturation point and operating at maximum rate
HOW TO CREATE: biofuels
- deconstruction
- digestion of enzymes
- ethanol fermentation
- purification and dehydration
Factors that affect enzyme function: temperature
- activity of an enzyme if affected by temperature
- if it gets to hot it might denature (active site is has conformational change and substrate can not fit)
- each enzyme has its own optimal temperature
- if it’s too cold the rate slows down
Factors that affect enzyme function: PH
- if it becomes too acidic or basic the enzyme can denature
Factors that affect enzyme function: concentration
- as substrate concentration increases so does reaction rate
- until the saturation point is reached.
ENZYME CONCENTRATION
- larger number of active sites
