ANAEROBIC VS. AEROBIC CELL RESPIRATION

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy in the presence of oxygen. It involves the breakdown of glucose to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy without oxygen. It typically results in the production of lactic acid or ethanol and carbon dioxide, along with energy (ATP).

Front

What is the main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

The main difference is that aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen.

Front

What is the equation for aerobic respiration?

Back

6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP)

Front

What is the equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast?

Back

C6H12O6 -> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + Energy (ATP) (Fermentation)
