Where in an eukaryotic cell does anaerobic respiration take place?

The anaerobic phase of cellular respiration is known as glygolysis. This is where glucose molecules are broken down into pyruvic acid.During this process, 2 molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced.

In the lungs the blood gets rid of the?

Homework question? Well, I am sure you know we breath in oxygen and it enters the blood in the lungs. That oxygen is used in your cells to turn food into energy in a process called cellular respiration. When this process uses oxygen we call it aerobic respiration (meaning "with air") The part of the process that uses the oxygen is the Kreb's cycle. The process produces a waste gas that is eliminated in the lungs at the same time the oxygen enters. What you need to ask yourself is...what is the opposite of oxygen? A hint, plants do it the other way around, they breathe in ______ and the waste they produce is oxygen. Hope this helps! D


What do you call the release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen?

The release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. When there is oxygen present it is called aerobic respiration.


What is the difference between aerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, whereas anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. Aerobic respiration is completed in three steps viz, Glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle and Electron transport chain; whereas anaerobic respiration is completed in Glycolysis. Aerobic respiration involves carbon dioxide as the major excretory by-product, whereas in anaerobic respiration, along with carbon dioxide, ethyl alcohol (in case of plants) and lactic acid (in case of animals) is liberated.


Role of hydrogen atoms in aerobic cellular respiration?

In aerobic cellular respiration, hydrogen atoms are pumped into the intermembrane space of the mitochondria via a proton pump to create a concentration gradient. The flow of protons back into the matrix (call chemiosmosis) yields 32-34 molecules of ATP, which is where the bulk of the energy comes from in cellular respiration.

What is exchange of gases between an organism and its environment?

Respiration, or breathing. It can also happen through the pores, I believe, not just the mouth and nose or other bodily orifice.


Does photosynthesis take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?

No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere: Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water


What internal organ can survive the longest without oxygen muscle kidneys liver heart?

The liver, and here is why: The heart requires cellular respiration to continue beating, as do the muscle cells for flexing. The kidney is a close call, but it actively pumps fluids to filter blood, thus requiring cellular respiration as well. Obviously the liver uses cellular respiration as well, however it is not as active as the other three organs. It produces large amounts of enzymes, and has a large chemical (rather than mechanical) impact on the human body.
