anaerobic
Term
How many ATP are produced during anaerobic respiration?
Definition
2
Term
Name the two types of anaerobic respiration.
Definition
lactic acid fermentation
alcholic fermentation
Term
Lactic acid fermentation
Definition
an enzyme converts pyruvic acid into a compound called lactic acid. This occurs during strenuous exercise
Term
Alcoholic fermentation
Definition
Some single-celled organisms convert pyruvic acid acid ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide gas (yeast)
Term
Name an organism that undergoes alcoholic fermentation?
Definition
yeast
Term
What is the role of the Krebs cycle during aerobic respiration?
Definition
to continue the breakdown of sugars in the mitochondria
Term
Where does Glycolysis occur in the cell?
Definition
cytoplasm
Term
Where does aerobic respiration or cellular respiration occur?
Definition
inside mitochondria or powerhouse of the cell
Term
autotrophs
Definition
organisms that can make their own food
ex: plants
Term
heterotrophs
Definition
organisms that can not make their own food
ex: animals
Term
photosynthesis
Definition
process by which plants produce food in the form of simple sugars.
Term
What is another definition of photosynthesis?
Definition
chemical reaction in which carbon dioxide from the air is combined with water in the presence of sunlight to produce organic compounds and oxygen
