Anaerobic respiration

1. glucose the makes triose phosphate

2. ADP

3. ATP 

4. 2H

5. NADH +H+

6. 2H

7. NAD

8. pyruvate 

9. lactate 

describe the process of anaerobic respiration in animals

Animals and bacteria the extra step converts pyruvate to lactate (or lactic acid). This is a reduction, so the NADH is oxidised meaning NAD is regenerated, to be used in glycolysis. The reaction is reversible, so the energy remaining in the lactate molecule can be retrieved when oxygen becomes available and the lactate is oxidised via the rest of aerobic respiration

The bacteria used to make yogurt use this reaction, as do muscle cells and red blood cells in humans.

1. glucose which gets converted into triose phosphate 

2. ADP

3. ATP

4. 2H

5. NADH + H+

6. 2H

7. NAD

8. pyruvate 

9. CO2 

10. ethanal

11. ethanol 

describe the processes of anaerobic respiration in fungi and plants  

In plants and fungi the extra steps converts pyruvate to ethanol. This is also a reduction, so NADH is used and NAD is regenerated, to be used in glycolysis. Ethanol is a two-carbon compound and carbon dioxide is also formed. This means the reaction is irreversible, so the energy in the ethanol cannot be retrieved by the cells.

Ethanolic anaerobic respiration is also known as fermentation, and we make use of fermentation in yeast to make ethanol in beer and wine.

why cant anaerobic respiration be sustained in animals

As it causes muscle cramp and fatigue

what causes the muscle fatigue

Lactic acid is a fairly strong acid so it lowers the pH in muscles cells, which slows enzymes therefore production of ATP and this contributes to muscle fatigue and cramp.

How many ATP per glucose are made in both plants+ fungi and animals+ bacteria

2

how many NADH are made in plants+ fungi and animals+ bacteria

In anaerobic respiration, the two NADH molecules produced during glycolysis are converted back to NAD+ so glycolysis can continue. Therefore, the net production of NADH in anaerobic respiration is zero. 

where do both these processes occur

cytoplasm

what’s is another name for anaerobic respiration in fungi or plants

fermentation

when do animals respire anaerobically 

strenuous exercise 

what happens after this strenuous exercise

The Latic acid diffuses out of the cells and into the blood stream. The lactate is soluble. And is passes through the liver and oxidised back into pyruvate and then quickly broken down. We continue to breath more deeply and frequently in order to take in extra oxygen to repay the oxygen debt ( the amount of oxygen needed to break down the lactic acid)
