Biology B4: Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration

?
What is aerobic respiration?
It is respiration using oxygen
1 of 12
Where does aerobic respiration happen?
It happens in mitochondria
2 of 12
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
Gluecose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water
3 of 12
What is anaerobic respiration ?
It is the incomplete breakdown of glucose, making lactic acid
4 of 12
What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration?
Glucose = Lactic Acid
5 of 12
Why doesn't the Anaerobic respiration make as much energy?
Because the glucose has not been fully oxidised
6 of 12
What happens when plants do anaerobic respiration?
They produce ethanol and carbon dioxide
7 of 12
What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in plants?
Glucose = Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide
8 of 12
What is fermentation?
Anaerobic Respiration in yeast cells
9 of 12
Why is fermentation of great value?
Because it is used to make bread and alcoholic drinks
10 of 12
What is oxygen debt?
The amount of extra oxygen that your body needs to react with lactic acid and remove it from your cells
11 of 12
How else does your body deal with Lactic Acid?
The blood that enters your muscles transports the lactic acid to the liver, where it is converted to glucose
