Document Summary
Metabolic pathways: equation for cellular respiration, note: the equation above is the reverse of photosynthesis. Anaerobic respiration: does not utilize oxygen, 2 types of anaerobic respiration: Example: mushroom (uses nitrogen: fermentation (no oxygen) Partial degradation of sugars/ other organic fuels. Humans produce lactic acid when they undergo anaerobic respiration. Carbohydrates to use for energy when oxygen levels are low. Alcoholic fermentation happens when there is a lot of yeast in the body (yeast comes from bread: note: anaerobic respiration in humans occur primarily in muscle cells during high-intensity exercise (oxygen supply to muscles is insufficient) When a bond is broken, it will release energy. Aerobic produces more atp than anaerobic respiration. The only storage of atp is in the muscle. Catabolic: small molecules are assembled into large ones, energy is required, releases water, large molecules are broken down into small ones, energy is released, uses water, cellular respiration.
