C1.2.5 Aerobic vs Anaerobic cell respiration

How does the use of oxygen differ in aerobic vs anaerobic respiration in humans?

aerobic - used as a proton acceptor

anaerobic - X, other substrates are used

How do the possible substrates differ in aerobic vs anaerobic respiration in humans?

aerobic -

anaerobic -

How does the ATP yield per glucose differ in aerobic vs anaerobic respiration in humans?

aerobic -

anaerobic -

How do the waste products differ in aerobic vs anaerobic respiration in humans?

aerobic -

anaerobic -

How does the location of reaction differ in aerobic vs anaerobic respiration in humans?

aerobic -

anaerobic -

state the word equation for aerobic respiration + organisms

Glucose + oxygen → CO2+ H2O + energy

humans, animals, plants // ADP → ATP during the conversion process

state the word equation for anaerobic respiration in humans + what other organisms it works in

glucose → lactate

animals, some bacteria

state the word equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast and fungi

glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide

Why is anaerobic respiration used in humans?

It is sometimes used in muscles to rapidly supply small bursts of ATP in short periods of time (ex. Muscle contraction, sprints, vigorous exercise)

aerobic respiration, while it produces more ATP, takes longer

what is oxygen debt?

the additional demand for oxygen built up in the body to break down lactase produced during anaerobic respiration

Why can anaerobic respiration only be used for short periods of time?

because the human body can only tolerate a minimal concentration of lactic acid
