Study Notes
Aerobic Respiration
- Occurs in the presence of oxygen
- Produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts
- Most organisms use aerobic respiration for energy production
- Glucose is broken down to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water
Anaerobic Respiration
- Occurs in the absence of oxygen
- Typically performed by microorganisms like yeast and bacteria
- Produces alcohol and carbon dioxide as byproducts
- In some cases, anaerobic respiration can produce lactic acid
- Occurs in muscle cells during intense exercise, leading to muscle fatigue due to lactic acid buildup
- Lactic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide and water when oxygen supply is restored, relieving muscle pain
