Glucose
A six carbon sugar
1 of 11
Respiration
The controlled release of energy from organic compounds in cells to form ATP
2 of 11
Glycolysis
The break down of glucose into pyruvate (in the cytoplasm)
3 of 11
The net production of ATP that occurs in Glycolysis.
A small yield of ATP
4 of 11
Anaerobic Respiration in Muscle
Converts pyruvate in the cytoplasm into lactate.
5 of 11
Anaerobic respiration in Fungi (Yeast)
A process that converts pyruvate into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
6 of 11
Aerobic Cell Respiration
Uses oxygen to break down pyruvate into carbon dioxide and water
7 of 11
Pyruvate
A three carbon compound - the product of glycolysis
8 of 11
A large yield of ATP
Occurs in aerobic respiration (in mitochondria)
9 of 11
No further yield of ATP
When pyruvate is converted by anaerobic respiration
10 of 11
Lactate production
When humans use anaerobic respiration to maximise power of muscles.
