Explain anaerobic cellular respiration, noting the lactic and alcoholic fermentation processes.
Questions and Answers
When a muscle contracts anaerobically, more lactic acid is formed than when it contracts aerobically because:
When a muscle contracts anaerobically, more lactic acid is formed than when it contracts aerobically because:
a) oxygen inhibits fermentation of pyruvate to lactate.
b) under anaerobic conditions, most pyruvate is fermented to ethanol.
c) under aerobic conditions, most pyruvate is oxidized to CO
by the critic acid cycle.
d) glycolysis does not occur to a significant extent under aerobic conditions.
e) it’s been paralyzed by a 3000-fold excess of Botox.
Describe how living things use anaerobic respiration to generate energy. In the answer, identify the main products generated by the two types of anaerobic respiration, and identify one organism that performs each type.
