Document Summary

List and describe the 4 general types of reactions in aerobic respiration. Describe the use of proteins as an energy source. Differentiate between aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, and fermentation. Include comparisons to aerobic respiration in terms of process and energy yield; where these processes are found in nature; key terms and products (nad+ regeneration, ethanol, co2, lactic acid); and human uses of these processes. Describe the use of triacylglycerol lipids as an energy source. Differentiate between anaerobic respiration, alcohol fermentation, and lactic acid. Aerobic respiration: a redox process: aerobic respiration, the most efficient form of cellular respiration, is used by most organisms, nutrients (typically glucose) are catabolized to water and carbon dioxide, and energy is stored in atp. 2 molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (g3p) are formed: second phase, the energy payoff phase, yields private and energy captured in atp and nadh each g3p is converted to pyruvate, c3h3o3.
