Cellular Respiration

Anaerobic Respiration

•Occurs when there is no accessible O2

•It is similar to aerobic respiration in that electrons extracted from a fuel molecule are

passed through an electron transport chain, driving ATP synthesis

•Some organisms use sulfate (SO42-) as the ﬁnal electron acceptor at the end of the

ETC while others use nitrate ( NO3-), sulphur, or one of a variety of other molecules

•This system is often used by prokaryotes that live in low oxygen environments, such as

methanogens which are found in soils and digestive

systems

Fermentation

•Another anaerobic pathway for breaking down glucose

•The only energy extraction pathway is glycolysis

•The pyruvates produced in glycolysis do not continue

through oxidation, the citric aid cycle or ETC

Lactic Acid Fermentation:

-NADH transfers its electrons directly to

pyruvate, generating lactate as a byproduct

-Occurs in bacteria in yogurt, and muscles

Alcohol Fermentation:

-A similar process where

NADH donates its electrons to a

derivative of pyruvate, producing ethanol

-Produces the ethanol found in drinks like beer and wine

-It is a two step process:

-A carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate, releasing CO2

and producing acetyldehyde

-Then NADH passes its electrons to acetyldehyde,

regenerating NAD+ and forming ethanol

alcohol

lactic acid

Document Summary

Anaerobic respiration: occurs when there is no accessible o2, it is similar to aerobic respiration in that electrons extracted from a fuel molecule are passed through an electron transport chain, driving atp synthesis, some organisms use sulfate (so4. 2-) as the nal electron acceptor at the end of the. Fermentation: another anaerobic pathway for breaking down glucose, the only energy extraction pathway is glycolysis, the pyruvates produced in glycolysis do not continue through oxidation, the citric aid cycle or etc. Nadh transfers its electrons directly to pyruvate, generating lactate as a byproduct. Occurs in bacteria in yogurt, and muscles alcohol. Nadh donates its electrons to a derivative of pyruvate, producing ethanol. Produces the ethanol found in drinks like beer and wine. A carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate, releasing co2 and producing acetyldehyde.

I know that this alot of questions, but it's kinda a last ditch effort. these are the last 42 definitions i have left to answer out of 500 question for my final exam study guide. so whatever help i can get is fine. No explanations needed just what each definition is explaining and thanks in advance ladies and gentlemen.
