When oxygen is not present to break down glucose through aerobic respiration, the process shifts to anaerobic respiration (fermentation) to continue producing energy. This results in the incomplete breakdown of glucose, leading to the production of lactic acid in animals or ethanol in plants and some microorganisms. This process is less efficient in terms of energy production compared to aerobic respiration.

Is respiration the metabolism of glucose when oxygen is present?

yes, cellular respiration


Why do yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly if oxygen is present than absent?

When oxygen is present, yeast cells undergo aerobic respiration, which is a more efficient process that yields more ATP per glucose molecule. This results in a slower consumption rate of glucose compared to anaerobic respiration where glucose is broken down more quickly in the absence of oxygen to produce energy.

Can cellular respiration and fermentation be used to release energy?

No. Either cellular repsiration or fermentation can be used to release energy depending on the presence or absense of oxygen. When oxygen is present, it acts as the terminal electron acceptor in cellular repritation, followed by the release of energy When there is no oxygen present, other organic molecules (like lactic acid) accept the terninal electron and energy is generated
