In a nutshell
• See the 3 slides below for a very basic summary of 2 types of anaerobic respiration
Comparison
Aerobic RespirationHappens in the cells
(mitochondria)Uses glucose
Uses oxygenProduces waste products that
are not harmful(carbon dioxide and water)
Anaerobic RespirationHappens in the cells
(mitochondria)Uses glucose
Does not use oxygenProduces waste products that
are harmful(ethanol or lactic acid)
Similarities
Differences
Fermentation; anaerobic respiration in plants, bacteria and fungi (yeast)
Happens in places with no oxygen
Word Equation:
Glucose → Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide + ENERGY
Anaerobic respiration in mammals: lactic acid in humans
Humans can do respiration without oxygen FOR A VERY SHORT LENGTH OF TIME
‘Fight or flight’ = emergency response to dangerous situations –prepares the body for exercise
Word Equation:Glucose → Lactic Acid + ENERGYLactic acid is a toxin and has to be broken down
by the body after exercise
