Anaerobic Respiration Flashcards

Flashcards on Anaerobic Cellular Respiration

Anaerobic Respiration

Cellular respiration that occurs when the oxygen supply does not meet the energy demands of the organism and takes place in the cytosol.

Glycolysis

The basis of anaerobic respiration, as with aerobic respiration, occurring in the cytosol.

Lactic Acid Fermentation

A type of anaerobic respiration that occurs in animals where pyruvate is converted into lactic acid (lactate).

Alcoholic Fermentation

A type of anaerobic respiration that occurs in plants or yeast where pyruvate is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Inputs of Lactic Acid Fermentation (Animals)

Glucose, 2 ADP + Pi

Outputs of Lactic Acid Fermentation (Animals)

Lactic acid, 2 ATP

Inputs of Alcoholic Fermentation (Plants and Yeast)

Glucose, 2 ADP + Pi

Outputs of Alcoholic Fermentation (Plants and Yeast)

Ethanol, Carbon dioxide, 2 ATP

Location of Glycolysis

Cytosol

Inputs of Glycolysis

1 glucose, 2 ADP + 2 Pi, 2 NAD+

Outputs of Glycolysis

2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, 2 NADH
