Document Summary

Anaerobic respiration: anaerobic respiration, strict anaerobes = Organisms require anaerobic conditions and are killed by oxygen. Include primarily bacteria living in conditions devoid of oxygen ex: soil, mud, bottom of deep water: facultative anaerobes = Organisms able to produce atp via aerobic respiration when enough o2 is available or via anaerobic respiration when o2 is not available. Yeast (single-celled eukaryotes), e. coli, and mammal muscle cells are facultative anaerobes: fermentation is often considered to be a type of anaerobic respiration, the biochemical reactions of fermentation take place in the cell"s cytoplasm. Two types of fermentation: alcoholic fermentation, lactate fermentation. 2 glucose 2 carbon dioxide + 2 ethyl alcohol + 14. 6 kilocalories energy. 2 lactate + 14. 6 kilocalories of energy glucose. Some species of bacteria rely on lactate fermentation to produce e. these bacteria are facultative anaerobes. The lactate produced is important in production of sour cream, yogurt, most cheese, etc. Lactate is an organic acid which curdles (precipitates) milk protein.
