Occurs in cytosol and mitochondria to catabloise orangic compounds aerobically/anaerobiliccally in from of ATP
Feature | Anaerobic Respiration | Aerobic Respiration |
Oxygen Requirement | Does not require oxygen | Requires oxygen |
Location in Cell | Cytoplasm | Cytoplasm and mitochondria |
ATP Production (netgain) | Low (2 ATP per glucose) | High (30-38 ATP per glucose) |
Processes | Glycolysis and lactic acid fermentation | Glycolysis, Krebs and Electron transport Chain |
End Products (Humans)/(waste) | Lactic acid | Carbon dioxide & water |
Energy Efficiency | Less efficient (fast, but less energy released | More efficient (slow but more energy released) |
Duration | Short bursts of energy | Sustained energy production |
Example Activities | Sprinting, weightlifting | Long-distance running, cycling |
Distinguish between aerobic and anaerobic respiration, including the presence or absence of oxygen and their respective energy yields.
Anaerobic respiration → fast short pace quick/small energy
no oxygen
Aerobic respiration → slow long pace alot of energy
oxygen
Outline the chemical processes of glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain
First step: Glycolysis ( Anaerobic))
Location: cytosol
Reactants: 1 glucose
Products: 2 pyruvate and lactic acid (cramps)/
(gets stored in liver but in the presence of oxygen it goes into aerobic respiration) (if no O2)
ATP yield: net gain of 2 (needs 2 atp ut gains 4 atp)
Oxygen not required
The rest are Aerobic
Pyruvate oxidation → before entering next stage (precursor)
occurs in mitochondrion
no atp in this process
need oxygen
Second Step: Kerbs ( citric acid cycle)
location: outer membrane (matrix)
Reactants: 2 acetyl CoA ( therfore cycles twice)
Products: 2 CO2, 3.NADH, FADH2 ( of one)
ATP yield: Net gain of 2 (1 per cycle)
Oxygen - occurs with
Third Step: Electron transport chain
Location: mitochondria - inner surface
Reactants: NADH and FADH2 → produces during kerbs and glycolysis
Product: H2O
ATP yield: net gain of 26-34
oxygen required
Side note:
ATP: Energy +ADP + Pi /=/ ATP + H2O
Outline the different end products of aerobic and anaerobic respiration
Different end products of ___ Respiration | End product |

Explain how ATP is used in the body as a source of energy
60% of energy released as heat → body tempreature (homeostasis)
40% of energy incorporated into ATP
Building complex molecules
Cell division and growth
Movement of cell orangelles
Movement of whole cell
Maintaing cell organisation
Active transport
Transmission of nervim
ALl anabolic reaction reactions require catabolism of form of ATP to ADP
