Anaerobic Respiration can occur in plant and animal cells, in the absence of oxygen.
Animal Cells
C6H12O6 (glucose) ---> 2 lactic acid + 2ATP
Plant Cells
C6H12O6 ---> ethanol + carbon dioxide + 2ATP
The two processes that occur are:
1 - Glycolysis (occurs in the cytosol of cells): The glucose molecule is split into two pyruvate (3- carbon molecules). As a result, energy is released and forms 2 ATP molecules released as well as 2 loaded acceptor molecule called NADH.
-(Since anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen, it can no longer continue its journey to the Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain.)
2 - Fermentation: The hydrogens from the 2 NADH molecules. In animals, The NADs will then reattach these hydrogens onto the middle carbon atom in the pyruvate (3- carbon) molecule. This produces 2 lactic acid molecules, for each pyruvate molecule. In comparison, in plants, ethanol and carbon dioxide is produced.
Although oxygen is not used as the final electron acceptor, the process still uses a respiratory electron transport chain; it is respiration without oxygen. In order for the electron transport chain to function, an exogenous final electron acceptor must be present to allow electrons to pass through the system. In aerobic organisms, this final electron acceptor is oxygen. Molecular oxygen is highly oxidizing and, therefore, is an excellent acceptor. In anaerobes, other less-oxidizing substances such as sulfate (SO42-), nitrate (NO3-), or sulfur (S) are used.
Actually there is two types of anaerobic respiration there is alcoholic fermentation and lactate fermentation.
certain bacteria,fungi,even the germinating seeds when deprived of air respire anaerobically. howdy haahahahaha
how many total ATP's come out of aerobic and anaerobic respiration
Combustion, respiration.
Aerobic respiration releases much more energy than anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration can result in as many as 38 molecules of ATP from one molecule of glucose, compared to a net gain of 2 molecules of ATP in anaerobic respiration.
Anaerobic respiration? Glycogen is utilised into glucose plus 6 atoms of phosphate which creates lactic acid (2 ATP). If that is what you were asking.
It's a bit difficult to count because some respiration processes make ATP as well as use it, but the general range is 34-36 ATP/glucose.
2 ATP are produced in anaerobic respirtaion
Aerobis respiration produces 36 ATP, while glycolysis and anaerobic only produce 2.
Aerobic and anaerobic
lactic acid is the end product of anaerobic respiration in animal cells. anaerobic respiration in animal cells is represented by the formula: - C6H1206----->2ch3ch(oh)cooh+2ATP(150kJ) energy
Please think about what you're saying. You asked whether anaerobic repiration is aerobic or anaerobic. I believe you have the answer to your question embedded in your question.
fermentation is entirely anaerobic wheras cellular respiration only has 1 out of 3 stages that is anaerobic, the other 2 being aerobic (need oxygen to carry out rweactions. from this you can tell what anaerobic must mean:) i hope this helps:D
The process of converting glucose (C6H1206) to energy in the form of ATP is known as anaerobic respiration in humans. The pathway involves glucose as a reactant yielding 2 lactic acids and 2 ATPs.
