Aerobic and anaerobic respiration: How is glucose used and lactic acid produced?
Anaerobic Respiration
A respiratory process that occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes in which cells break down the sugar molecules to produce energy without the presence of oxygen.
Prokaryote:
Any of the organisms lacking a distinct membrane-bound nucleus
Eukaryotes:
refers to any of the single-celled or multicellular organisms whose cell contains a distinct, membrane-bound nucleus.
Certain anaerobic respiration types make use of the electron transport chain system to pass the electrons to the final electron acceptor.
Fermentation
: an example or part of anaerobic respiration as both of them do not use oxygen
Metabolic process in which glucose molecules are converted into acids, gases, or alcohol in the absence of oxygen or other electron transport chain.
Aerobic respiration
A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates
The aerobic catabolism of nutrients to carbon dioxide, water, and energy, and involves an electron transport system in which molecular oxygen is the final electron acceptor.
There is an exchange of gases where oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is released.
The end products of aerobic respiration are water, carbon dioxide, and energy
Slower than anaerobic respiration.
Lactic Acid
when oxygen is limited, the body temporarily converts pyruvate into a substance called lactate, which allows glucose breakdown and thus energy production to continue
The body makes lactic acid when it is low in the oxygen it needs to convert glucose into energy.
This energy comes from glucose through a process called glycolysis, in which glucose is broken down or metabolized into a substance called pyruvate through a series of steps.
Fermentation is performed by bacteria, converting carbohydrates into lactic acid. Takes place in the cytoplasm of the cells.
