Document Summary

* in aerobic respiration, each molecule of glucose yields many molecules of atp. For each glucose that enters the cellular respiration, 38 atp molecules are made. Harvest chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvic acid. Series of reactions in which enzymes strip away electrons and h+ from each acetyl group. Pyruvic acid => kreb"s cycle: atp, nadh, fadh2. Nadh and fadh2 travel down from the mitochondria and pumps hydronic molecules. * under the anaerobic conditions, different kinds of cell can use glycolysis alone to produce small amount of atp. Two methods of anaerobic respiration that exist: Pyruvic acid is converted to co2 and ethanol (recycle nad+ to keep glycolysis working). Pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid (nad+ is recycle by lactate and no co2 is produced). Lactic acid fermentation is used to make cheese and yogurt. Strict anaerobes - requires anaerobic respiration to survive. Facultative anaerobes - uses oxygen if present and use fermentation if absence.
