What substance is needed for anaerobic cellular respiration to occur?

Answer 1

In mammalian cells such as human cells, glucose and oxygen are the two starting materials required to perform aerobic respiration. However you also need a large number of enzymes to catalyse the various reactions that take place.

Answer 2

Aerobic respiration goes through the Krebs Cycle to breakdown glucose, because oxygen is present. ATP is produced and goes through electron chain transport.

Anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen, so this happens:

Cytosol converts glucose into pyruvic acid --> yield 2 ATP molecules --> get pyruvate ---> (fermentation process) 2 ATP used to make NAD+ (this is energy!) ---> NAD+ and NADH continually replenished.

Byproducts are lactic acid and alcohol, which builds up in system (be it muscle or anaerobe).

To answer your question, you probably need pyruvate....!

Answer 3

The reactants- oxygen and glucose - and functioning mitochondria in the respiring Cell.

A reduced hydrocarbon and an O2. Mitochondrion come MUCH LATER.

Answer 4

Oxygen is the defining factor of aerobic versus anaerobic respiration. In aerobic respiration the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain is oxygen.

Answer 5

Oxygen and glucose (more specifically, glucose needs to be broken down to pyruvates).

Answer 6

Deficient oxygen, lack of oxygen. or the inability to use oxygen are requirements for anaerobic respiration.

Answer 7

pyruvic acid and NADH

Answer 8

oxygen
