Study Notes
Anaerobic Respiration in Animals
- Anaerobic respiration occurs in animals when oxygen is limited. This happens during intense exercise when the body cannot supply enough oxygen to the muscles.
- During anaerobic respiration, glucose is broken down into lactic acid, which releases a small amount of energy.
- Oxygen debt is the amount of oxygen needed to get rid of lactic acid after exercise.
- The lactic acid is converted back to glucose using oxygen.
- Lactic acid is a waste product of anaerobic respiration.
Anaerobic Respiration in Microorganisms and Plants
- Some plants and yeast cells can respire anaerobically, a process called fermentation.
- Fermentation produces carbon dioxide and alcohol (ethanol) as by-products.
- Fermentation is used in the brewing industry to make beer and wine.
- Bacteria also carry out anaerobic respiration, releasing energy from glucose.
Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Respiration Comparison
- Aerobic respiration requires oxygen.
- Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen.
- Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration require glucose.
- Aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide and water.
- Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid in animals and alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide in some plants and microorganisms.
Anaerobic Respiration in Sports
- Anaerobic respiration is important in sports, especially during short, intense bursts of activity.
- Examples of sports that rely on anaerobic respiration include weightlifting and sprinting.
- This type of respiration allows athletes to produce energy quickly, even when oxygen supply is limited.
