Explain Fate Lactate Anaerobic respiration Animals
In a nutshell • See the 3 slides below for a very basic summary of 2 types of anaerobic respiration
Similarities Comparison Differences Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Respiration Happens in the cells (mitochondria) Uses glucose Does not use oxygen Produces waste products that are harmful (ethanol or lactic acid) Happens in the cells (mitochondria) Uses glucose Uses oxygen Produces waste products that are not harmful (carbon dioxide and water)
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 + ENERGY Lactic acid is a toxin and has to be broken down by the body after exercise
