The anaerobic pathway cellular respiration is known as glycolysis. In glycolysis, glucose molecules are broken down into two pyruvate molecules.

Glycolysis is the only stage of cellular respiration which can occur without oxygen. The theoretical yield of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is 2 molecules for this first stage.

What is the cellular respiration waste products?

Cellular respiration produces CO2 and water as by-products of the metabolic pathway.


What determines which pathway is used in respiration?

The presence of oxygen. Eg if there is oxygen the it will be aerobic respiration, if there isn't oxygen then it will be anaerobic respiration.


Does anaerobic cellular fermentation use the same final electron acceptors as aerobic respiration?

No, because the electron acceptor is what cates the electrons as the leave the electron transport chain, which is oxygen in aerobic respiration. Since aerobic respiration uses oxygen, and anaerobic fermentation is abest of oxygen, anaerobic fermentation cannot possibly use oxygen as respiration does.


What is cellular production?

Cellular respiration produces CO2 and water as by-products of the metabolic pathway.


What is the pathway that cellular respiration ends?

The electron transport chain.


When oxygen delivery to the cell is impaired which pathway is used for energy production?

anaerobic respiration


What process produces more energy-the anaerobic pathway or the aerobic pathway?

The aerobic pathway produces more energy than the anaerobic pathway. Aerobic respiration generates a much higher yield of ATP molecules from glucose compared to anaerobic fermentation. Anaerobic metabolism is a less efficient process that produces ATP without the use of oxygen.
