What does anaerobic respiration involve?

It consumes organic molecules and compounds other than O2 to yield ATP.

3
New cards

What is fermentation?

The partial degradation of sugars that occurs without O2.

New cards

What are redox reactions?

Chemical reactions that transfer electrons between reactants.

7
New cards

What happens during oxidation?

A substance loses electrons.

8
New cards

What occurs in a reduction reaction?
