What does the breakdown of protein and starch produce?
Sugars.
What kind of chemical reactions that release energy from sugars?
The oxidation/ reduction of sugars release energy during respiration. The phenomenon of liberation of energy from sugars is a katabolic process. It may be aerobic or anaerobic.The oxidation/ reduction of sugars release energy during respiration. The phenomenon of liberation of energy from sugars is a katabolic process.

Anaerobic glucose breakdown produces a compound called?
it is the conversion of glucose into lactic acid
What chemical is formed by the aerobic breakdown of glucose?
The product of aerobic breakdown of glucose is pyruvate. Since this is an exergonic reaction, there is no energy required to start it off.
What is produced by yeast in fermentation?
Carbon Dioxide and Alcohol (anaerobic respiration)
What kind of respiration do yeasts use to produce energy?
Yeasts convert sugars into alcohol and CO2.
Is alcohol a waste product of fermentation?
Yes. A yeast will digest sugars differently in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. If there is not a lot of oxygen available the sugars are incompletely digested and the main waste products are alcohol and carbon dioxide.
What metabolic pathway is common to aerobic and anaerobic process of sugar breakdown?
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway common to both aerobic and anaerobic processes of sugar breakdown. It is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. All organisms produce a high energy compound ATP by releasing energy stored in glucose and other sugars.
Does anaerobic respiration produce ethanol?
Yes. Below is a diagram of anaerobic respiration.Glucose (Broken down to) →Energy (ATP) + Ethanol + Carbon dioxide (CO2)Glucose (Broken down to) →Energy (ATP) + Lactic acid
What would indicate respiration reactions are anaerobic?
Formation of CO2 and ethyl alcohol indicate anaerobic reactions.Formation of CO2 and ethyl alcohol indicate anaerobic reactions.
Why is starch breakdown important?
Starches are sugars that help the body store energy. They have to breakdown into the different sugars in order to be digested properly.
Does B1 breakdown alcohol in the body?
yes B1 breakdown alcohol in the body.A deficiency in vitamin B1 makes it harder for our body to breakdown 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.
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 does the breakdown of protein and starch produce?
Sugars.
What is glycolysis about?
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose. It can either be aerobic or anaerobic.
How many ATP are made by anaerobic breakdown of glucose?
20
