What is a biochemical pathway of cellular respiration that is anaerobic?
The anaerobic pathway cellular respiration is known as glycolysis. In glycolysis, glucose molecules are broken down into two pyruvate molecules.Glycolysis is the only stage of cellular respiration which can occur without oxygen. The theoretical yield of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is 2 molecules for this first stage.
What is the correct sequence of chemicals produced in the anaerobic respiration pathway?
1st 2nd 3rd final
What metabolic pathway has the most ATP?
The metabolic pathway that yields the greatest amount of ATP via cellular respiration is anaerobic glycolysis. Anaerobic glycolysis is the transformation of glucose to pyruvate when limited amounts of O2 are available.
Which stage of respiration do all organisms perform?
Glycolosis is the stage of respiration that all organisms perform.
What would happen if there was no cellular respiration?
I presume you are referring to human's cellular respiration and not bacterial cellular respiration. With human's cellular respiration, you first have to understand that our body uses ATP (short for adenosine triphosphate) as the main source of fuel. It is ATP that helps our body to repair itself, to grow, and to eliminate basic toxins such as carbon dioxide. Second, the main source of ATP is glucose from breakdown of the food we eat. With that in mind, cellular respiration (also known as aerobic respiration) is the use of inhaled oxygen to more efficiently make ATP. With oxygen/ aerobic respiration, a cell's mitochondria power house can make 36 ATPs from one molecule of glucose via glycolysis + Kreb cycle + electron transfer chain pathway. Whereas without oxygen (aka anaerobic respiration), a cell stops at glycolysis making only 2 ATPs. As you can see, 36 vs. 2 ATPs is a big difference. A cell that is metabolically active and requires a lot of ATPs such as the neurons (brain cells), the myocardiocytes (heart cells), and the proximal tubule cells (kidney cells) will die off when the glucose supply is depleted from inefficient breakdown to produce ATPs. So in short, without cellular respiration, a cell will use anaerobic respiration, making 1/16 of normal ATPs, survive for 2 mins to hours (depending on the cellular activities and body temperature) then die off due to depletion of glucose source within the cell or die off due to activation of Fas self-suicide mechanism. Hope this answers your question. =)

What are the 2 types of cellular respiration and what determines which pathway is used?
Aerobic and anaerobic. Determined by the availability of oxygen to the cells.
What is the pathway for metabolism of glucose?
cellular respiration
What does the Krebs cycle do in cellular respiration?
It describes one pathway for cellular respiration.
What is cellular respiration products?
Cellular respiration produces CO2 and water as by-products of the metabolic pathway.
The first pathway of cellular respiration is?
glycolysis.
What is the cellular respiration waste products?
Cellular respiration produces CO2 and water as by-products of the metabolic pathway.
What is cellular respiration waste products?
Cellular respiration produces CO2 and water as by-products of the metabolic pathway.
How is anaerobic respiration used to make alcohol?
You have the same homework as me don't you?... Well anaerobic respiration produces ethanol which is actually a type of alcohol.
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.
What is cellular production?
Cellular respiration produces CO2 and water as by-products of the metabolic pathway.
What is the pathway that cellular respiration ends?
The electron transport chain.
