Where does anaerobic respiration occur?
The cytoplasm
In anaerobic respiration in animals what is pyruvate converted to?
lactate
In anaerobic respiration in plants what is pyruvate converted to?
ethanol and carbon dioxide
What does pyruvate gain to form lactate?
hydrogen from reduced NAD
What does pyruvate gain to form ethanol?
hydrogen from reduced NAD
What are the two steps in anaerobic respiration?
Glycolysis
Lactate of ethanol formation
What are respiratory substrates?
molecules which can be broken down to provide energy for respiration
Which respiratory substrates provide the most to least energy?
lipids
proteins
carbohydrates
What causes more energy to be released from the respiratory substrate?
more hydrogens being released
What’s the respiratory quotient equation?
RQ = CO2 produced/ O2 consumed
What is the RQ value of carbohydrates?
1
What’s the RQ value of proteins?
0.9
What’s the RQ value of lipids?
0.7
why does the RQ only apply to aerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration doesn’t require oxygen
What’s a respirometer used for?
measuring the rate of oxygen consumption in respiration
