aerobic and anaerobic respiration

what is aerobic respiration and what is the word and symbol equation for it

aerobic respiration is respiration using oxygen

glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water

when is anaerobic respiration used

when there is not enough oxygen. usually during vigorous excercise

what is anaerobic respiration

incomplete breakdown of glucose making lactic acid.

glucose → lactic acid

doesn’t transfer as much energy because glucose isn’t fully oxidised

word equation for anaerobic respiration in plant and yeast cells

glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide

anaerobic respiration in yeast cells is called fermentation.

give two uses of fermentation in the food and drinks industry

makes bread and alcoholic drinks

break making - carbon dioxide from fermentation makes bread rise

beer and wine making - fermentation process produces alcohol
