Document Summary

Anaerobic respiration: respiration in the absence of oxygen. Only yields about 75% atp than aerobic respiration. Although they lack mitochondria; prokaryotes have respiratory electron transport chains (located in the internal membranes) Many prokaryotes do aerobic respiration but some do use anaerobic respiration: here; sulphate, nitrate and fe+ are common electron acceptors. Only yields 7% of atp than aerobic respiration. 2 types: lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. Converts glucose to pyruvate, nadh, a little bit of atp through substrate level phosphorylation. 2 step pathway, produce ethanol and co2 is a by- product: again ensures that there is enough nad+ for glycolysis. Obligate anaerobes: carry out fermentation or anaerobic respiration: cannot survive in the presence of oxygen, will die, e. g. Facultative anaerobes: can survive using either aerobic cellular respiration (in presence of o2) or use fermentation (when o2 is limited: e. g. vertebrae muscle cells, lactobacillus. In case of aerobic respiration, oxygen can be dangerous to them.
