When does anaerobic respiration happen?

Not enough oxygen, During intense exercise, Extra energy for short periods of time.

3
New cards

Why does your body choose to respire aerobically?

You get more energy per molecule of glucose from aerobic respiration; Build up of lactic acid produced in anaerobic respiration can cause cramps in your muscles.

Respiration without oxygen

5
New cards

What are the reactants in anaerobic respiration?

Glucose

6
New cards

What are the products in anaerobic respiration?

Lactic acid + ENERGY

7
New cards

Describe one difference between aerobic and anaerobic.

Aerobic is with oxygen, anaerobic is without oxygen.

8
New cards

Describe a situation when we might respire anaerobically?

Intense exercise like sprinting.

9
New cards

What are microorganisms?

Microorganisms are very tiny living things. They are so small that you need a microscope to see them.

10
New cards

Give an example of a microorganism?

Yeast.

11
New cards

Describe what fermentation is?

Fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration, as the microorganism respires without oxygen.

12
New cards

Fermentation

Anaerobic respiration in some microorganisms produces ethanol and carbon dioxide instead of lactic acid.

13
New cards

Fermentation Example

Yeast is needed to make bread, beer, and wine.
