What do mitochondria break down to produce energy?
In aerobic respiration, mitochondria break down oxygen and glucose to make energy, and also make carbon dioxide and water. In anaerobic respiration, they only use Glucose to make energy and also make lactic acid.
How does human cells use fermentation?
Fermentation is simply anaerobic cellular respiration where an organic compound is used as an electron acceptor instead of using oxygen. Consequently, lots of types of cells can utilize fermentation. There are examples of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes that are capable of anaerobic respiration. The most common example of fermentation is in the yeast cell, which produces the alcohol found in beer. Another example is the human muscle cell, which produces lactic acid through fermentation when there is not enough oxygen present to continue cellular respiration (such as after a long jog).
A process by which a cell releases energy from food?
The metabolic activity called catabolism--this is often achieved by glycolysis and cellular respiration (or fermentation, in absence of oxygen). Break down fats, sugars, and proteins, to extract the energy from their energy rich bonds
Why does a plant need both photosynthesis and respiration to survive?
A plant needs photosynthesis to produce food in the form of sugar's. A plant needs respiration to break down in order to release energy stored in the sugar's.
What is the break down of sugar in the body made for energy called?
Respiration!
What is the different respiration and fermentaion both break down sugar to produce energy?
respiration is in presence of oxygen which leads to complete breakdown of sugar yielding many times more energy than in fermentation which is in absence of oxygen
What is fermentation in cellular respiration?
Fermentation is used in anaerobic respiration. Fermentation is done to replenish NAD supplies so that glycolysis can continue making ATP in the absence of oxygen.
Compare cellular respiration and fermentation?
like respiration, fermentation begins in the cytoplasm. Again, as the glucose molecules are broken down, energy is released. But the simple molecules from the break down of glu- cose do not move into the mitochondria!!!
When sugar from dough converts into energy what happens?
The yeast in the dough break down the sugar to produce energy and the byproducts carbon dioxide gas, which makes the dough rise, and ethanol. This process is called alcoholic fermentation, and is a type of anaerobic cellular respiration.
Most organisms break down sugar to produce usable energy through the process of?
Cellular Respiration, which can be anaerobic or aeorobic. Aeorobic respiration includes glycolysis (in the mitochondrion), the Krebs cycle (also in the mitochondrion), and the electron transport chain on the inter-membrane of the mitochondrion.
What do mitochondria break down to produce energy?
In aerobic respiration, mitochondria break down oxygen and glucose to make energy, and also make carbon dioxide and water. In anaerobic respiration, they only use Glucose to make energy and also make lactic acid.
What is the name given to the types of organisms that exclusively use cellular respiration to break down glucose to produce ATP for energy?
Mitochondria

What do yeast glucose and water result in?
The yeast will break down the glucose which produces Carbon dioxide + Ethanol + Energy during anaerobic respiration and the process is also known as 'fermentation'. Carbon dioxide and Ethanol are the waste products. During aerobic respiration, the yeast will produce the same products as we produce such as Carbon dioxide, water and energy.
How do cells release chemical energy from food?
A cell releases energy when glucose(food) and oxygen come together, then they produce water, Carbon Dioxide, and energy. a simpler form of this is the equation oxygen+glucose=water+carbon dioxide+energy
What is The breakdown of carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen?
In the absence of oxygen, the cell uses a process called fermentation. Fermentation doesn't break the sugar down any further, it simply helps reset the system so that more sugar can be broken down.Because aerobic respiration breaks the sugar all the way down, it releases much more energy than fermentation.
