1
Q
Glucose in broken into what
A
2 molecules of pyruvate, this releases enough energy to produce 2 ATP
2
Q
Further breakdown depends on 2 factored
A
O2 present or not present
3
Q
If o2 is present it’s
A
Aerobic respiration
4
Q
If o2 isn’t present
A
It’s fermentation
5
Q
Aerobic respiration
A
When aerobic respiration takes place, each pyruvate molecules is broken down to carbon dioxide and water
6
Q
Once that stuff is done for aerobic respiration what’s released
A
Releasing enough energy to make a large number of ATP molecules
7
Q
Fermentation
A
Long story short, pyruvate molecules are converted to lactate
8
Q
Where does respiration begin
A
In the cytoplasm. And is completed their for fermentation
