What are the two main types of anaerobic respiration?
The two main types of anaerobic respiration are lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells when there is a shortage of oxygen, producing lactic acid. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in yeast cells, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide.
What is the gas exchange between humans and plants?
Plants take in Carbon Dioxide and expel Oxygen as a by-product of cellular respiration. Animals take in Oxygen and expel Carbon Dioxide as a by-product of cellular respiration.
Does fermentation occur in mitochondria?
No, fermentation does not occur in mitochondria. Fermentation is a metabolic process that occurs outside of the mitochondria, typically in the cytoplasm of cells. Mitochondria are responsible for aerobic respiration, which generates energy in the form of ATP.
How do species cause the removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide?
The only species that I am aware of that removes atmospheric CO2 are various types of plants. They remove the CO2 through a process called photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (Sunlight) ® C6H12O6 + 6O2. Aerobic respriation which is performed by many species is the opposite of photosynthesis and actually contributes to the addition of CO2 in the atmosphere. Anaerobic respiration: Glucose (Broken down to) →Energy (ATP) + Ethanol + Carbon dioxide (CO2) or Glucose (Broken down to) →Energy (ATP) + Lactic acid. As you can see this form of respiration also contributes to the realease of CO2 into the atmosphere. Also, plants contribute to the release of CO2 in the atmosphere when they die or when deforestation occurs, and also when they perform respiration at night. However, they remove more CO2from the atmosphere through photosynthesis than they release through respiration.
What are the characteristics of an anaerobic species?
Anaerobic species are organisms that can live and grow in environments without oxygen. They typically produce energy through fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic species often thrive in environments such as deep sea vents, wetlands, and the human digestive system.
What gases such as oxygen nitrogen and carbon dioxide are needed by most species?
Most species require oxygen for respiration to produce energy, nitrogen for building essential molecules like proteins and nucleic acids, and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis in plants. These gases play vital roles in the survival and functioning of organisms across different ecosystems.
Which pathogen causes fermentation?
Yeast is a common microorganism that causes fermentation. Specifically, species of Saccharomyces yeast are often used in fermentation processes, such as brewing beer and making bread.
Do birds carry out photosynthesis?
No, only plants, algae, and many species of bacteria, can carry out this process known as photosynthesis. Birds do not have chloroplasts, which are essential for the photosynthesis.
What are the different types of respiration used by amphibians throughout their life cycles?
amphibians use several different methods of respiration depending on their species and age. 1. cutaneous respiration 2. buccopharyngeal respiration 3. pulmonary respiration 4. gill respiration
Does bacteria trap energy in an ecosystem?
Yes, there are certain bacterial species which trap light energy coming from sun in the process of photosynthesis or there are some photosynthetic bacterial species whcih carry anoxygenic light reaction of photosynthesis. Bacterial photosynthesis is broadly of two types: Purple Nonsulfur bacterial photosynthesis and Green sulfur bacterial photosynthesis.
What animal breathes through its feet?
Some insects, like certain species of beetles, use a specialized structure called spiracles on their feet to breathe. These spiracles allow for gas exchange, helping the insect regulate its respiration.
What type of relationship between two species that involves an exchange of energy?
A symbiotic relationship involves an exchange of energy between two species. This can take various forms such as mutualism, where both species benefit, or parasitism, where one species benefits at the expense of the other.
