What is aerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration is the process of breaking down glucose using oxygen to produce ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, and water.

What is anaerobic respiration?

Anaerobic respiration is the process of breaking down glucose without oxygen and producing ATP (energy), lactic acid, and/or alcohol as byproducts.

What is the main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

The main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

What is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?

The final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is oxygen.

What are the two types of anaerobic respiration?

The two types of anaerobic respiration are alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.

What is the net ATP yield in aerobic respiration?

The net ATP yield in aerobic respiration is 36-38 ATP molecules.

What is the net ATP yield in anaerobic respiration?

The net ATP yield in anaerobic respiration is 2 ATP molecules.

What is the equation for aerobic respiration?

The equation for aerobic respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36-38 ATP

What is the equation for lactic acid fermentation?

The equation for lactic acid fermentation: C6H12O6 → 2C3H6O3 (lactic acid) + 2 ATP

What is the equation for alcoholic fermentation?

The equation for alcoholic fermentation: C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH (ethanol) + 2CO2 + 2 ATP

What are some examples of organisms that use aerobic respiration?

Some examples of organisms that use aerobic respiration are humans, animals, plants, and some microorganisms.

What are some examples of organisms that use anaerobic respiration?

Some examples of organisms that use anaerobic respiration are bacteria, yeast, and some muscle tissues.

Why is aerobic respiration more efficient than anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration because it produces a higher amount of ATP molecules per glucose molecule broken down than anaerobic respiration does.

What is the importance of aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic and anaerobic respiration are important processes as they enable living organisms to produce energy in the form of ATP efficiently, which is required for various biological processes such as growth, repair, and movement.

What are the end products of anaerobic respiration in human muscle tissue?

The end products of anaerobic respiration in human muscle tissue are lactic acid and ATP.
