#1
Front (Question)

Understanding for Anaerobic respiration

Back (Answer)

Anaerobic respiration gives a small yield of ATP from glucose

#2
Front (Question)

What happens in anaerobic respiration if there is no oxygen is available/

Back (Answer)

• Only glucose occurs

#3
Front (Question)

Is Anaerobic respiration efficient/ why? - what can only be used?

Back (Answer)

• Not very efficient • Only produces 2-ATP per glucose molecule • Only glucose can be used

#4
Front (Question)

What is pryuvate converted into with plants/ what is it common in?

Back (Answer)

• Ethanol acid and carbon dioxide - common in bacteria/ fungi

#5
Front (Question)

What is pryuvate converted into with animals/ is it commonly used - why?

Back (Answer)

• Lactic acid (lactate) • Few animals use anaerobic respiration/ metabolism as their only method of getting energy • Animals with low energy requirements (tapeworm) gets away with it • Animals with certain tissue can switch to anaerobic respiration (muscle cells during exercise)

#6
Front (Question)

Where does anaerobic respiration occur?

Back (Answer)

• Cytoplasm

#7
Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

2 ATP per glucose molecule
