Anaerobic respiration is a key process in the production of biogas, which is often used as cooking gas. During anaerobic digestion, microorganisms break down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, resulting in the production of methane and carbon dioxide. This biogas can be captured and used as a renewable energy source for cooking and heating. The process not only generates energy but also helps manage waste by converting organic materials into useful fuel.
Anaerobic respiration in vinegar making refers to the conversion of sugars in the fruit juice into acetic acid by certain bacteria, such as Acetobacter. During this process, the bacteria do not require oxygen and instead use a different electron acceptor to carry out respiration. This allows the bacteria to convert the sugars into vinegar in the absence of oxygen.
When yeast undergoes anaerobic respiration, it gives off Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Ethanol. The Ethanol is used in alcohol production, bread making, gasohol etc.
Making ATP without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) is less efficient compared to aerobic respiration, yielding only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. It also produces lactic acid (in animals) or ethanol (in plants and some microorganisms) as by-products, which can lead to muscle fatigue and soreness. Additionally, anaerobic respiration can only sustain energy production for short periods of time before fatigue sets in.
Yeast produces CO2 gas and sometimes ethenol when it metabolizes sugar.
In Cellular Respiration, there are two ways of making ATP: Aerobic and Anaerobic. These processes occur in the Mitochondria. The first step of Aerobic Respiration is anaerobic (Yes, it's a bit confusing). This step is called Glycolysis, the process of turning Glucose into Pyruvate Acids, NADP, and ADP. From here is where Aerobic Respiration occurs if there is oxygen present. It goes on into Citric Acid Cycle, where it adds Hydrogen ions to the NADP, FAD, and ADP to make high-energy molecules. Next is the Electron Transport Chain, where the rest of the ATP is made. In all, around 36 ATP is made.
Aerobic because it doesn't require Oxygen to make unlike anaerobic respiration. Thus making it far more efficient even though it causes cramps.
This is caused by a buildup of lactic acid.
It doesn't.

This is anaerobic respiration i.e. respiration in the absence of oxygen
When yeast undergoes anaerobic respiration, it gives off Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Ethanol. The Ethanol is used in alcohol production, bread making, gasohol etc.
Anaerobic respiration only glycolysis occurs which forms 2ATP. However, in aerobic respiration there is the Krebs cycle which is responsible for making 2 ATP and the electron transport chain which is responsible for making 30 ATP. Most textbooks say that for aerobic respiration around 36-38 ATP is made. When compared to the 2 from anaerobic it is a major difference in energy production.
A fermentation process is used to make yogurt. Milk contains the sugar lactose; and some bacteria will ferment lactose to produce lactic acid. the lactic acid clots the milk protein, and give the yogurt its sour taste. Fermentation is just another name for anaerobic respiration.
The main advantage of aerobic respiration over anaerobic respiration is the production of a significantly larger amount of ATP (energy) per glucose molecule. This allows cells to generate more energy for cellular processes, making aerobic respiration more efficient in providing energy for organisms.
The biggest disadvantage of making ATP by fermentation is that it produces a lower yield of ATP compared to aerobic respiration. This is because fermentation is an anaerobic process and does not fully oxidize glucose, resulting in less energy being produced per molecule of glucose.
Making ATP without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) is less efficient compared to aerobic respiration, yielding only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. It also produces lactic acid (in animals) or ethanol (in plants and some microorganisms) as by-products, which can lead to muscle fatigue and soreness.
