What waste product of yeast respiration is useful in making wine?
When yeast undergoes anaerobic respiration, it gives off Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Ethanol. The Ethanol is used in alcohol production, bread making, gasohol etc.
What molecule is used during aerobic respiration?
Cellular respiration can be aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, anaerobic respiration does not need oxygen.
Which terms describes the process of breaking down of sugar or other organic compounds in the absence of oxygen which generates ATP and produces organic acids or alcohol?
Anaerobic respiration.The process is also called fermentation, but this term is used in different ways by different people. Anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast, for example, is often called ethanol fermentation, and in animals the equivalent process is lactic acid fermentation.
What determines which pathway is used in respiration?
The presence of oxygen. Eg if there is oxygen the it will be aerobic respiration, if there isn't oxygen then it will be anaerobic respiration.
Compare aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to produce a large number of ATP molecules, which are used in the cell as energy. Anaerobic respiration used an electron transport chain without oxygen, produces lactic acid, and produces very little ATP and, as such, very little energy.
What two types of yeast respiration is there?
Aerobic (used to make bread) and anaerobic (used to make alcohol).
Why is yeast used to make beer and wine?
Yeast is used to produce the alcohol in beer and wine. Yeast is a fungus that feeds on sugars to create energy for itself. When the yeast is deprived of oxygen, as it is in the production of beer and wine, it uses a process called anaerobic respiration to create its energy. The byproducts of anaerobic respiration are ethanol (alcohol) and CO2. This production of alcohol via yeast is called fermentation. Yeast is used in the production of virtually all Alcoholic Beverages.

Explain ways in which anaerobic respiration is used in the making of alcohol beverages and bread?
When yeasts are used to make bread and for brewing, their ability to respire anaerobically makes them useful. They produce the alcohol for the beer/wine, and the CO2 for the baking. The CO2 makes the bread or pastry rise; the alcohol evaporates during the baking process

Where does majority of the energy is stored in anaerobic respiration?
Most of the energy released in cell respiration is recycled. Some of it gets used for other functions, other parts get used to create more ATP to generate more energy.
What does anaerobic respiration have in the food industry?
Humans cannot respire anerobically however, during stressed instances such as excessive running where not enough oxygen is entering the body, glucose can be broken down in the absence of oxygen forming lactic acid which is the reason why you feel a burning sensation after a long sprint/jog. Eventually when you stop and start your regular paced breathing, the oxygen debt is paid and lactic acid concentrations decline.
Is aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration more beneficial for your cells?
anaerobic respiration is definitely more beneficial for your cells becauseAnaerobic respiration (anaerobiosis) refers to the oxidation of molecules in the absence of oxygen to produce energy, in opposition to aerobic respiration which does use oxygen. Anaerobic respiration processes require another electron acceptor to replace oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is often used interchangeably with fermentation, especially when the glycolytic pathway is used for energy production in the cell. They are not synonymous terms, however, since certain anaerobic prokaryotes can generate all of their ATP using an electron transport system and ATP synthase. Definition of anaerobic respiration: the breakdown of food substances in the absence of oxygen with a small amount of energy.aerobic is the absence of air in cells which is a bad thing so anaerobic is the best for cells.
What are two examples of how anaerobic respiration is used in the food and beverage industry?
Alcohol Industry - alcohol fermentation (vodka, whisky) Dairy Industry - milk fermentation (yogurt, buttermilk)
